Native in German and Hungarian and fluent in English, he has a track record of coordinating international teams, staffing and customer service under high-pressure timelines. Unusually for an events professional, he has contributed to the JerryScript open-source project, demonstrating technical curiosity and experience with embedded systems, memory management and regression testing.
