Adam Nemeth
User Experience Designer
Introduction
I am for the users. I have spent the last dozen of years trying to create software and webpages which solve real problems of real users.
I have always been more interested in designing applications than writing them, starting at the age of 8: I designed a game on my Commodore 64. When I realized noone is going to write it for me, I learned programming.
I have been working in the web industry since 2000, first as a freelancer, then as a teamlead-architect, which usually included interaction design as well. I officially received my UX Designer title at Nokia Locations & Commerce in 2011. Never looked back at development ever since.
Technical background
In the past, I was a senior developer at different development firms. I am fluent with JavaScript, HTML, PHP. I have worked with ASP.NET, Python and Java EE as well.
I have a formal education background:
Software Engineer MSc - received in 2009 from Budapest University of Technology and Economics
Development-wise, I am SOLID-driven, I provide clean code.

There are several styles on how the behaviour of a system is to be expressed.
In his
seminal book, Dan Brown shows 24 ways of doing it, and I could show another dozen equally right.

Grid-based visual designs

I usually don't do visual design, but sometimes I have to, so I am going to show that I am aware of governing typographical rules
I almost always create moderate, International/Swiss Style graphics with clear visual hierarchy.

I made my first IA-based website in 2004, with personas, card-sorting and sitemap
I am familiar with card sorting, used
OptimalWorkshop tools to test designs, wrote tone of voice documents, sometimes ran association tests with users
User testing and analytics
I have done formal user testing, but also maintained continous, informal communication with users elsewhere
I have used
Clicktale on multiple projects, usually creating videos to summarize findings.
I am familiar with Google Analytics and regularly used that and other statistics to reconstruct typical user behaviour
