About me

Persistent, reliable, and at home in structured work

I am an economist with a BSc in International Business from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). I like turning messy processes into clear ones, and I like being part of international teams.

Over three years at Knorr-Bremse I supported supplier quality work: keeping supplier records and certificates in order, building SAP reports that show where each project stands, and helping with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 documentation. At LVC Diamond I mapped a company's complete set of operating processes in Visio. Alongside my studies I lead the education team of ESTIEM Budapest BME.

Colleagues describe me as persistent and reliable. Both come from sport: five years of competitive triathlon taught me to keep going, plan ahead and deliver on the day.

How I work

From a process map to a better process

The steps I have used in my internships, drawn the way I would draw them in Visio.

  1. Map

    Draw the current process step by step

  2. Collect

    Gather the data behind each step

  3. Report

    Make status visible in SAP or Power BI

  4. Improve

    Find the weak points and fix them together

Beyond work

Swim, bike, run

Five years of competitive triathlon

I raced triathlon competitively for five years and took part in the Hungarian national championships. The most important thing sport taught me is persistence, and I bring it to every project. I still swim and keep an active lifestyle.
