Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTamás Bálint is an electrical engineering student at Budapest University of Technology and Economics with a decade of hands-on experience in web development and design, and ambitions to transition into space engineering after his bachelor's. He combines technical depth—evidenced by core simulation contributions to the well-known open-source Powder Toy project in C++ (fixing crashes, adding features and reaction rules)—with practical product experience through roles at Prefold Ai and his own studio, Spectrail. As a leader of a 50+ scout team he developed real-world problem-solving, team motivation, and program organization skills that complement his engineering toolkit. Tamás is committed to continuous learning, enjoys low-level simulation challenges (hence the "falling sand" hobby work), and brings both entrepreneurial initiative and community-minded collaboration to technical projects.

The-Powder-Toy/The-Powder-Toy
Oct 2016 - Jan 2023
Written in C++ and using SDL, The Powder Toy is a desktop version of the classic 'falling sand' physics sandbox, it simulates air pressure and velocity as well as heat.

Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:6 releases, 9 reviews, 395 commits in 6 years 4 months
Contributions summary:Tamás primarily contributed to the simulation's core logic, addressing critical bugs and implementing new features. Their work involved fixing crashes within the code, adding enhancements like the "sim.brush" function, and optimizing existing elements, which includes changes to the behaviour of pipes and particles and the implementation of new reaction rules. These changes indicate the user's strong focus on maintaining and extending the simulation's core functionality.
