Hey, I'm György

Before the code

Before any of this, I was a personal trainer. I spent my days working on myself and with other people, helping them get healthier and a little better than the day before. I picked up brand partnerships, joined affiliate programs, and was working toward higher certifications when I realized I wanted to build something of my own. There is always a trade-off, and I made mine.

The thing I built

It started in 2016 as a small tool to fix something that annoyed me, a weekend hack I never expected anyone else to see. Somewhere along the way it became a company, and then a large project with multiple products covering lots of areas of the niche: desktop apps for Windows, Linux, and macOS, mobile apps, and all of it to manage. I was lucky enough to meet a few genuinely good people, and together we turned into a real team, shipping something almost every day. What we built grew into a SaaS product that millions of unique visitors passed through, with thousands of people on its free and premium plans. Getting there was not glamorous. For years it was long nights, cold coffee, and health I should have looked after better. I learned the whole arc along the way: the highs, the doubt, the burnout, and the quiet satisfaction of software that just keeps working for people who never think about it.

Eventually the project was acquired, and it is still running to this day. That is a strange, proud, slightly hollow feeling: watching something you poured years into grow up and carry on without you. I came out of it knowing what it actually takes to build something that lasts, and still believing that if you can genuinely code in one language, the rest is mostly syntax. Once the logic is there, you build on it.

Where I am now

These days I build in the open. I contribute to open-source projects, write about what I learn, and file more bug reports than anyone asked for. Most of it happens under pueev Studio, where I work on software, small tools, and the occasional experiment. No one sponsored it and no one asked for it. I just like making useful things and sharing how they work.

Say hello

That is the short version. If any of it resonates, the blog has the longer one, a post at a time.

p.s. if you read this far, we would probably get along. my inbox is genuinely open.
