Bence R.

A 18.000000000 year-old developer.

I try to build open-source sites that are easy to use, accessible, and fast.



Hi, I'm Bence, an aspiring software engineer currently living in Ireland. I've been programming since I was 11, but I only recently seriously started getting into web development and design around the summer of 2023, with my first website BetterExams.ie, an alternative to the government's official site for accessing past exam papers.

At the moment I'm working on an addition to the so-called 'BetterExams Suite'; a site where students can log, track, and analyze past test results. It's built using Next.js, Recharts, Shadcn UI, and of course Tailwind CSS.

Outside of development, I'm a big fan of reading and dogs. (If you couldn't tell by the quotes, I'm a rather big fan of Brandon Sanderson). Here are some of my favourite works, across a variety of mediums: The Way of Kings, Billy Bat, and Hollow Knight.
