Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve been designing and building software professionally for 15+ years. Whether I’m evolving what already exists or creating something entirely new, I love figuring out what to build. I care about both delivery and craft.

A quote I return to often

"Most of the things I am most proud of have come from just doing the thing

Most people would rather ask questions, debate, etc

Most decisions are two way doors and you are often times rewarded for taking the initiative"

Personal tidbits about me

I’m originally from Hungary, happily married, a dad of three, and now living in southern Sweden.

In my free time, I play Nintendo games, enjoy retro platformers, stay active, and get happily lost in pixel art.

My first name, József, is the Hungarian version of Joseph. In Hungarian, it’s often shortened to Józsi. When pronounced in English, it can sound a bit like Yoshi. The nickname stuck, and that’s what most people call me. (My GitHub/scene handle is angelday. Don’t ask.)

Questions and Answers

Did you create this website?

Yes. I originally designed it in Framer, then rebuilt it using Jamstack and changed the design considerably.

What tools did you use?

Ghost as a headless CMS and Astro to render the site with a lot of custom enhancements. (If you’re interested, I wrote about the tech in a bit more depth here.) I also used Framer for the initial design and prototyping, Figma for some of the graphics, and Aseprite for pixel art.

Did you make this pixel art? Or is it AI?

I created the pixel art above using Aseprite from a photo reference. You know, pixel by pixel with a lot of iterations. It’s a very relaxing activity!

What’s with these weird colors and this cursor?

A nod to late-’80s CGA graphics.

What video game system do you recommend buying?

That would be the Nintendo Switch 2, thank you for asking.
