Type whoami into a shell and it answers in one line: lezli01. The honest version takes longer.

I am László Szabó, and I start at the metal. C++ was my first language and it is the one I keep coming back to. Not nostalgia, appetite. I want memory layout to be a decision I make, not one a runtime makes for me. Down here the abstractions stop apologizing for the hardware, and that is exactly where I like to work.

// from one binary, the view widens.

From that floor I build outward. I design big cloud architectures and then stand them up for real, on Kubernetes and AWS, and I write the infrastructure that keeps them upright once actual traffic shows up. DevOps is not a chore I tolerate; it is the part I love. The deploy path wired so shipping is boring on purpose. The observability that names a dying node before a user does. Infrastructure is where architecture proves itself or quietly comes apart, and it pays off in the dullest currency there is: systems that just keep running.

// the README is a hypothesis. the strace is the truth.

I also cannot leave a new tool alone. A runtime, a build system, an orchestrator I have not run before: I pull it apart to watch how it actually behaves, not how the README claims. Most of it I throw back. The few that survive earn a permanent slot, and I keep them.

And I genuinely love Dart and Flutter. When a UI has to reach people fast, that is what I reach for, gladly: one codebase, compiled to native, shipped this week.

WHAT I AM NOT

I am not a frontend developer, and I have no interest in CSS, HTML, or the framework of the season. None. The browser simply is not where I live. That is not a gap I am working to close. It is just not the work that holds me.

The proof was never the demo. It is the quiet week after.

Working, useful software. The rest is noise.

The full version (the projects, the work history) lives at lezli01.is-a.dev. I would rather leave a gap than pad one.
