Rudolf Olah

Hi there! I’m an experienced engineering leader passionate about empowering teams and driving growth through technology. With a strong software development, team management, and project delivery background, I’ve built a diverse portfolio of projects that span a wide range of technologies and applications, including frontend and backend development, analytics tools, monitoring systems, and more.

Currently I lead the engineering team at a fintech software company, leveraging technologies like Python, Django, TypeScript, JavaScript, and React to build innovative products. I’m also an accomplished professional in project management, having passed the CAPM exam in 2018 and consistently seeking opportunities to improve my skills and knowledge.
