Support Attila's open source work

Welcome! I'm Attila, a Software Engineer with over 20 years of experience, a passion for building robust applications, and an unwavering dedication to the open-source community. My work is driven by two main passions: building scalable solutions with modern technologies like React, TypeScript, and Node.js, and inspiring the next generation through STEM education.

I believe in a collaborative tech community and am committed to making it better, one line of code at a time. Your support helps me do that.
