Hey there! I’m Gergő, a web developer based in the heart of Europe, Hungary. While I’m passionate about front-end and back-end development, I have a special love for back-end technologies.

I spend much time exploring, studying, and working with powerful frameworks like Laravel.

I’m a self-employed contractor (freelancer) who is usually available for new projects, so feel free to email me (hello@iamgergo.com) if you have a project idea. I work with Adam, a skilled front-end and WordPress developer. We also collaborate on multiple side projects.

Open Source

I'm a proud open-source contributor. I created two more significant OSS projects, Root and Bazar, that we use regularly.

Laravel Development

My primary tool for custom application development is Laravel. It isn’t just a framework for me; it’s a way of thinking and coding that transforms the development process. I’m a huge fan of how it streamlines complex tasks and helps you create elegant solutions. I have used it from Laravel 5 since 2015.

I understand Laravel well and aim to improve my understanding; hence, I try to contribute directly to the main repository.

Here are a few examples of the applications that I made:

  • I created a web app for Hungary's most prominent IT competition, which had seven weekly rounds and up to 2000 players.
  • I made an inventory application for art galleries with portfolio showcase options, embeddable galleries to 3rd-party pages, and various PDF exports.
  • I built our webshop to manage licenses to our premium WordPress and Composer packages. The shop is based on Laravel, Root, Bazar, and Spruce CSS—our open–source packages—and is integrated with Stripe and Billingo.

I have a routine with the following Laravel - related - tools:

  • Laravel Nova
  • Laravel Shift
  • Inertia
  • Forge
  • Laravel Pint
  • Laravel Passport
  • Laravel Socialite
  • PHPstan
  • PHPUnit
  • Vue.js
  • Alpine.js
  • Vite

I aim to follow Laravel's best practices and coding standards but can adapt to any predefined style guide.

WordPress Development

When it comes to CMS, my tool of trade is WordPress. It is an excellent choice for a portfolio website, but it can also manage complex webshops with WooCommerce.

I create simple WordPress themes based on ACF with the least possible dependencies.

I created and/or maintain many custom WordPress plugins:
