As an 80's kid and a young adult in the 90's in the heart of Europe [Budapest,Hungary] I've been heavely influenced by european electronic music [and still I am] and performers like The Prodigy, Scooter, ATB, RMB, Marusha, Darude, Dune and many more.
Dune has a song which I really like. It's Hardcore vibes 
At this point you can imagine how the page's name came to it's final form:
I wanted to have a name which reflects a piece of my life and personality, which is [halfway] funny and has a reference to programming.
This is the endresult: Hardcode Vibes

My primary goal building this page was to establish an environment to be able to practice and excercise web design, web solutions, different programming languages, etc.
Meanwhile it also became a site for supporting my work life.
As such it hosts:

• My interactive CV for recruiters and line managers
• An example Dashboard, which I use for supporting automation project management and which enables my RPA/automation teams' visibility & transparency
• A Project tracker which enables smooth project management and ways of working in my teams and users/requestors in visibility of their projects, statuses. They are also able to modify their requests and see other's projects [so the platform is a good place for information and best practice sharing]

I have used the following languages, frameworks and technologies on this page (so far):

• Database and data handling: MySQL database, PHP, Ajax, linq.js
• Dashboards, tables and gannt charts: Highcharts, Highstock, Highmaps, DataTables
• Frameworks and javascript projects: Bootstrap, JQuery, Moment, SVG, Font Awesome

My name is Viktor.
I was born and live in Budapest, Hungary close to the city centre together with my wife and cat [see all the details below, in the 'MY FAMILY'] section.
I was born on the 8th of January 1980 (Capricorn) on the same day as Elvis, David Bowie, Stephen Hawking [not in the same year].
I'm a geek with a touch of art skills (I'm pretty good at drawing), that's the reason why I'm interested in web-design [UI] as it unites both my geek and my more creative side.
I'm rather an extravert type [59% extravert, 41% introvert based on my MBTI results] and really enjoy to have night outs with my friends, to chat and dance. I also appreciate to discover other cultures, countries (I'm a heavy traveller) and how people live there. As far as my introvert side is concerned, I like to also be at home reading books, programming and watch my favourite TV shows.

I have a BsC in International Economics, studied in the College of Modern Business Studies [Tatabánya, Hungary].
After the college I have started to work in a Shared Service Centre (SSC) in 2005 and since then I had jobs in this industry:

• I have started as an Accounts Payable analist at Genpact [in a General Electric team] and shortly became a Subject Matter Expert.
• After leaving GE in 2010 I have joined the Vodafone SSC as a 'Continuous Process Improvement Management Information [CPI MI] Specialist' and I was promoted every 2nd year, first to a team leader, than to junior manager and finally to 'Automation Solutions Manager'.
• In 2018 I had to leave Vodafone. I've joined the Givaudan Business Solutions SSC and worked there for 1 year as 'Robotics Process Automation [RPA] Manager'.

Now I'm looking for new challenges preferably in the SSC environment.
I have never learned programming in any schools, trainings or courses. Everything I know, I've learned on my own using books, google and benefiting the knowledge of my colleagues (special thanks goes to Fred for web programming).
I have a strong knowledge in VBA, MSAccess programming, web programming (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, HighCharts, Bootstrap, etc.) and learning new languages like PHP, React, Node, Angular and robotics (UiPath).

For more details, funfacts, KPIs, spoken languages, knowledge, etc. please look at My interactive CV .

• Travelling I have visited more than 30 countries so far (and counting) on 4 continents, Australia and Far-East is still to go. See the countries I have visited: Travel map
• Cycling This is my favourite sport activity and also the quickest way to reach my workplaces. In 2019 I have completed 2500 km on bicycle.
• Gym My new-old sport activity. In have started to excercise in the gym when I was 15, in 1995 and did it until 2007. After a 13 year break I have re-started in 2019.
• Programming as you can see (this page was created by me) programming is something I really like to do even in my free time.
• Reading books & comics This is my most common hobby but I really like to read. My favourite writers are Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick. I have red approximately 15 books of Asimov in 2018-19 and still counting.
  My favourite comic books are from Marvel. I have started to read comics in 1993 (long before the crazy hype around MCU) when in Hungary the first comic books have been issued (after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of Hungary's suppression in 1989 we had to wait 4 years to have the first comic books in Hungary). Since than I buy lots of omnibuses, especially classic ones (50's to 70's, like the ones from Jack Kirby) in Budapest and whenever I'm abroad in the local comic stores. Obviously I'm a big fan of MCU movies and a bit smaller fan of DC ones.
• Politics I actively follow politics in Hungary and participate in political events if it's needed.

   

• My wife, Letti
  Similarly to me she was starting her career at a Shared Service Centre [SSC] at Vodafone (This is actually where we've first met in 2013, at a company summer party).
  We are married since 2016.
  She is now self-employed and runs her own wedding decoration company, Blush Wedding Decor (inspired by our wedding which was decorated by us), where I assist her in the decoration process (loading the car, driving, sourcing, decoration, technical solutions, etc.) almost every summer weekend
  If you are interested please visit her instagram, facebook and webpage. She is very-very talented.    
  
• My cat, Cupi
  He is a very autonomous cat, enjoys the little, simple things in life just as sleeping (about 20 hrs per day), having delicious gastronomic experiences (cat food), watching birds through the window, walking at the corridor (under supervision), playing, running in circles in our flat like crazy.
