About

profile

Hi! My name is Róbert Horváth.

Originally I graduated as an Economist in Commerce and Marketing (BA),
but my interest has turned to computer science over the last few years.

In my previous role as an IT Support Analyst, I had the chance to gain both practical and theoretical knowledge in the field of IT operations. Besides my daily job, I spent a lot of time learning computer science related topics with an emphasis on programming.

For the last couple of months, I've been intensively working on further deepening my programming knowledge. My main goal is to land a job where I could utilize these skills and further develop them.

Check out my resume and portfolio for further information.
