About Me
Jurgest Balla
My journey started in finance — studying economics and working in banking — before I discovered that software was where I could create the most impact. That pivot changed everything.
Over the past 7+ years I've shipped production software across every layer of the stack: from pixel-perfect React frontends to cloud-native NestJS backends, from React Native apps on both app stores to AI-powered tools built with LangChain and OpenAI.
I care deeply about code quality, system design, and the user experience. I believe the best software feels inevitable — simple, fast, and exactly what you needed.
