About Attila
You need to move a process, platform, or product idea forward, but the current setup is getting in the way.
I help companies turn business problems into working software — from the first requirements conversation through development, testing, delivery, and ongoing maintenance.
I also help renew, improve, and migrate legacy systems into modern, stable solutions.
Recently, I delivered a QR-code loyalty system and an AI-driven car bidding app — backed by 25+ years of experience building pricing engines, speeding up client onboarding, migrating 30+ legacy applications without disruption, modernizing inventory systems and leading the development of the debt collection department.
I’m strongest where business goals, engineering decisions, and operational reality all need to line up.
If you need someone who can modernize legacy systems, deliver new features, and take end-to-end responsibility and keep things moving, that’s where I add the most value.
Clients usually bring me in when they want a senior partner who can work independently, communicate clearly, and keep momentum moving.

Experience
- Self-employed / Revival27 GmbHFreelance System Engineer & IT ConsultantDIGITAL AND ITFebruary 2026 - Today (6 months)Vienna, AustriaIn freelance assignments, I act as a hands-on delivery partner for software and platform initiatives that need momentum.That often means helping clients refine the problem, define the right scope, and turn an idea into a solution that is technically sound and usable in the real world.I have experience across the full delivery lifecycle, including
- requirements
- architecture
- development
- testing
- deployment
- and ongoing support.
I’m especially useful in projects where the business wants progress, the technology landscape is messy, and someone needs to keep the work moving while making sensible trade-offs.I don’t just build features; I help make sure the right features are built in the right way.My recent freelance work includes a QR-code loyalty system and an AI-driven car bidding app, both delivered with a focus on maintainability and practical use.More broadly, I’ve spent years working on pricing engines, onboarding improvements, migrations, inventory platforms, and enterprise systems, so I’m comfortable moving between SMB-style pragmatism and corporate-grade delivery standards.What clients usually get from me is calm ownership, clear communication, and a bias toward getting things done without unnecessary process overhead. - Unzer GmbH,Engineering ManagerDIGITAL AND ITAugust 2023 - December 2025 (2 years and 4 months)Vienna, AustriaLeading 20+ engineers across Austria and Germany.
