SOFTWARE ENGINEER · BUDAPEST, HU

Curious mind.
Builder at heart.

I’m Najib Ghadri. I turn ideas into digital products—from the first sketch to the last line of code.

02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PROJECTS

More than
the code.

Hungarian roots. Syrian heritage.
A perspective shaped by both.

A software engineer with a product mindset—and a soft spot for a good challenge.

I’m a technologist and startup enthusiast based in Budapest, Hungary. My work brings together end-to-end architecture, full-stack development, UI/UX, and product design. I build mobile apps, web applications, and cloud services.

I earned my Master’s in Computer Science at the Budapest University of Technology, where my thesis explored AI-driven computer vision. I’ve also published studies on Web 3.0 and blockchain, and studied Information Security at Universitat Politècnica de València—picking up Spanish and a fondness for tapas along the way.

Outside work, you might find me travelling across Europe or the Middle East, practising martial arts, or trying an extreme sport. Curiosity tends to set the itinerary.
