My name is Gábor Rosta and I'm a 25-year-old soon-to-be secondary school Maths teacher with a passion for programming. I first fell in love with coding in high school and have since developed proficiency in several programming languages and frameworks. Over the years, I've worked on several personal and university projects too. This portfolio showcases my projects, skills, and experiences so far.
