Bence Hornyák

Senior Software Engineer building scalable, AI‑powered web applications.

Eight years of shipping production frontends with React, Angular and TypeScript. Currently building an AI-powered product at Supercharge.

01About

I'm a software engineer based in Budapest with eight years of experience delivering web applications across manufacturing, energy and digital product consultancies.

My focus is the frontend: React and Angular, with TypeScript throughout. I also work comfortably across the stack with Python and FastAPI. I care about performance, clean API contracts and the kind of engineering practice that keeps teams fast: code review culture, mentoring and well-instrumented deployments.

Right now I'm working on AI products: integrating LLM APIs, retrieval-augmented generation and the streaming chat interfaces that turn model output into a product people actually want to use.

Along the way I've improved application performance by up to 35%, cut critical bugs in half through proactive monitoring, and mentored developers into productive teammates.
