I am very effective at building MVPs, bringing them to market, and securing investors or buyers.

Software engineer (8+ years) with a multidisciplinary background (biomedical, agriculture) focused on building real-world solutions. Founded and exited two startups, leading product, sales, and marketing, and delivering industrial solutions (e.g. composting, bioremediation, odour control systems and LPG level monitoring systems).

5 years of full-stack experience at Fortune 1000 steel companies as a contractor, working on 3D configurator platforms.

As a hobby, I am currently building a maxillofacial surgery 3D support tool (MVP in testing).

I am seeking a software engineering role or an early-stage startup opportunity, and I am also interested in project management and leadership roles.

I had a really bad experience with their domain registration system. It doesn't let you set up different billing addresses for each domain. I have my private domains and my business domains. Unfortunately, it wasn't that obvious, and I had the impression that I am able to set up different billing addresses. Turned out that I just always overwrote the last billing address. They refused to help me set straight the invoices for my business and for my private donains. Their UI failed me (it is really bad and not intuitive in this case), this is such a basic feature. Support was also not helpful. Overall it was a very bad experience.

Composting emits CO2

I had super bad experience with Migadu. They had changed important settings and sent email about it few days later (pop server name), then they doubled the price despite their old home page claims (again no email notification). During the pandemia there were several downtimes. Emails to yahoo were not really delivered (I have an old domain, and I send only private emails.)

I switched to mxroute and it just works. Migadu's price is ok but the support and communication was really weak back then.

Sad but true, just came back from skiing and the food is in general cheaper in France. Also the quality is better.

I was wondering: can you really take out from the equation the bodyweight/fit level/age variables? I'm heavy and also very tall and it seems to me an over simplified service using only a macro sheet of products.

I had a car accident a few month ago. I was the victim as the other driver did not give priority to the right. After the police arrived, they came to this conclusion, too. Turned out, that the other driver was a diplomat, who drove a brand new rented BMW, and did not understand why I was the victim. The driver was also an unwanted person in the country due to corruption scandals, and he was heading to the airport to leave the country for good. The police did not charge him due to the diplomatic immunity and patiently endured his crazy ideas that I was causing the accident on purpose, I was diving too fast, I am too young to know how to drive, and I was on my phone while driving etc. Of course, none of these was real, and ironically I could prove it thanks to the cameras there. I think this behaviour is not supposed to belong to a diplomat who represents his country on foreign soil.

Thank you guys I will check out the linked sites; I haven't purchased the drone yet. I do not want to spend, too much (1-2k in €) so maybe I will use a service instead. I am pretty familiar with GIS, and I use it on a regular basis for the orchard (I am experimenting with almond as we have a warmer microclimate here in the valley).

I will consider posting agriculturally related articles shortly. If it becomes actual, I will leave the URL here.

I could pay back in 5-6 years at the current pace. But the loan is long-term (10 years) designed for farmers.

Yes, but mostly about tech stuff. I have just started the orchard thing, so it has been my first year. I will consider posting agriculturally related articles shortly. If it becomes actual, I will leave the URL here.

I have an agricultural engineering BSc, too. So it was not a big transition for me. My family helps me a lot since I am studying and also having a job. I work a lot; my life is always in a hurry. Maybe paying for a consultant is the best way if you do not know how to start.

I am doing pretty much the same. I am currently an engineering student, working part-time as a programmer. Although the job market for programmers is excellent in Europe, I bought an apple orchard (via loan) pretty close to the capital of the country where I live. Due to the proximity of the capital city, I can sell my product at a decent price and earn more than an average senior dev here. I also enjoy being outside and collaborate IT with agriculture. I am planning on purchasing drones to calculate NDVI and other useful stuff. People working 160 hours a month at a desk requires nature, peace. They love my U-pick programme as the venue is beautiful and close to the capital (less than 15km).

Literally my thoughts on this topic. Albeit, I have not got rid of my account yet due to university. However, I disabled notifications and mainly use messenger. I wiped my pictures, never check in places and occasionally like posts.

Try harder then. And do not campaign against an innocent young boy even if you think your point of view harmonises with the outdated Hungarian law that bleeds from hundreds of wounds.
