Hi! I'm Norbi. I began programming in 2019 after working in the culinary and retail industries for several years. Although I completed vocational training in both fields, I realized over time that they weren't the right fit for me. I discovered programming through the Codecool bootcamp in Budapest, where I learned Python, Java, JavaScript, and C#. Eventually, I chose to focus on JavaScript, as it felt like the perfect balance of creativity and logic. What drew me to programming was the sense of flow—I could spend hours coding without noticing the time pass. No other job had ever made me feel that way. I enjoy solving complex problems and diving deep into how things work, always looking for ways to improve and optimize.
Technical interests / focus:
Over the past five years, I've been working as a fullstack developer, but I've always felt more drawn to the frontend side of things—especially when working with React. I enjoy creating interactive and dynamic interfaces, whether it's building a real-time feature using websockets or developing a drag-and-drop game mechanic. There's something deeply satisfying about seeing users interact with something I've built visually. While I can handle backend work comfortably, it's the frontend that really sparks my creativity.
Hobbies / free time activities:
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time with my Shiba Inu. My girlfriend and I often dedicate our weekends to dog-friendly activities like hiking or attending pet events and exhibitions. I'm also a big fan of console gaming—whether it's on the PS5 or Nintendo Switch. Fantasy is my favorite genre in every form: board games, movies, series, or video games. Basically, if it's fantasy or involves being outdoors with dogs, I'm in! And when inspiration strikes, I even squeeze in some jogging or swimming to stay active. 😄
Why do you like working at Scriptide:
The atmosphere at work is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Since it's a young and energetic team, I found it easy to fit in right away. I consider myself quite extroverted, so connecting with people has never been a challenge. My current team is full of genuinely kind and fun individuals, and we get along great both professionally and personally. This has been one of the best workplaces I've ever experienced—both in terms of daily challenges and team spirit.
