Hi everyone!

I’ve been working in IT since 2009, mainly in backend development, with experience as a Scrum Master and coach.

Currently, I’m in a transitional phase—I’m on parental leave with my third child and between jobs. During this time, I’ve discovered a real passion for frontend and mobile development, especially with React Native, and I’m working on my first app. I’ve even started creating YouTube videos!

My plan is to continue as a freelancer, though I’m open to a flexible or part-time role if the right opportunity comes along.

I’m happy to offer coffee chats and share any insights or life experience I’ve gathered—or just listen! My coaching experience has made me a pretty good listener. :)

Cheers,
Lajos

A little bit about me
I started my career as a systems engineer at Bose where I tuned noise cancelling algorithms in vehicles, and my most recent role was a Data Scientist at Apple where I ran data science initiatives in the Supply Chain and Logistics space.
Last year, I took a leap to explore both the world and myself - backpacking across Asia and exploring meditation and wellness as a whole; that led me to try out diving into the profound silence of a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat. Now, I'm energized and ready to tackle the next challenging puzzle that comes my way.

Fun fact
I was among the first batch to join this community, back in August 2022 when there were less than 50 people in the Slack channel :) I love how Taro has evolved, and the quality of interactions within this community has contributed greatly to keeping me here (despite not being a SWE). I am excited to chat with other curious like-minded Taro members.

Hi,

I’m currently a computer science masters student at Pace University. I have a 1.5 years of experience at PwC India.

The reason for joining Taro is because of the mentors and proper guidance for my career path. I really look forward to learning and improve my self. I’ve heard many interesting stories on personal growth that Taro is helping. Therefore I look forward to learn/enhance my skillset and looking for good job opportunities at good firms.

I always have an attitude of beginner and having a right mentor can influence and push me to reach my goals.

Thank you,

Sathvik
