// Hello, world

Csanad Kope

Software Engineer & Sales Engineer

I'm a CS graduate from Royal Holloway, University of London who builds production-ready systems — and knows how to sell them. From scaling a sneaker business to £150K+ revenue, to shipping live SaaS products, a streaming LLM inference router with cost-based mid-stream switching, and production POS systems — I operate where commercial instinct meets engineering depth.

Currently open to graduate software engineering, technical sales, and sales engineering roles in London.

Top 10AI Hackathon

// What I bring

The rare combination

⚡

Engineering Depth

I build production systems end-to-end — Shopify integrations, eBay sync engines, Stripe billing pipelines, real-time dashboards. TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python. I don't just prototype; I ship.

💰

Commercial Instinct

Ranked #1 of 50+ in door-to-door sales within 2 weeks. Grew a business to £150K+ revenue from scratch. I understand margins, KPIs, customer psychology, and how to close.

🎯

Sales Engineering Fit

I can demo a complex API to a non-technical stakeholder and then go write the webhook integration. I bridge the gap between what sales promises and what engineering delivers.

🏆

Proven Under Pressure

Top 10 in a 48-hour AI hackathon. Basketball team captain, led first promotion in 5 years. I perform in high-stakes environments and bring teams with me.

Projects

2024–25 Live

ShopOS v4↗

TypeScript · Node.js · Prisma · PostgreSQL · Railway · Shopify API

Replaced a paper-and-spreadsheet workflow for a live UK phone shop — zero downtime since launch. Real-time Shopify sync means in-store and online inventory never go out of sync. Staff onboarded within a day thanks to role-based access and a clean dashboard.

2025 Open Source

Inference Router GitHub ↗↗

Python · asyncio · Ollama · EMA · httpx · Rich

Cuts estimated completion time by ~80% on a degraded endpoint by switching models mid-stream rather than waiting or restarting. Maintains response coherence across the switch via continuation prompts — the user sees one uninterrupted answer.

2024–25 Live SaaS

PokéManager pokemanager.app ↗↗

Python · eBay API · AI card scanning · Discord · Supabase · Stripe · Multi-currency

£2,602+ revenue tracked, 155+ cards sold, 3+ paying users. Resellers using PokéManager know their actual profit for the first time — eBay's own fee estimates are wrong; we pull real statement data. Listing a card on eBay went from 15 minutes to one slash command.

2025 WIP

TradeQuest↗

Tauri 2.0 · Rust · WebAssembly · PixiJS · Go Microservices

Single codebase ships to Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile via Tauri 2.0. Rust/Wasm core keeps game logic at near-native speed without a native build per platform — a constraint most cross-platform games compromise on.

2024 Live

Nync nync.app ↗↗

Python · Google Calendar API · Outlook API · Stripe · Discord · MS Teams

~90% reduction in booking friction — eliminated the 6-email back-and-forth by scanning both Google and Outlook calendars simultaneously. Teams see who's in the most meetings via the Martyr Board before they hit burnout.

2024 Top 10

Goalify GitHub ↗↗

TypeScript · AI Vision · LLM APIs · Bolt.new

Top 10 out of hundreds — built end-to-end in 48 hours. Verification that previously required a human moderator now takes under 2 seconds via AI vision. Zero manual review loop.

2025–26 77%

Tower Defence Engine GitHub ↗↗

Python · PyGame · A* Pathfinding · Multi-threading · Object Pool · unittest

Eliminated garbage-collection pauses entirely during gameplay via a custom object pool — frame drops that plagued the naive implementation dropped to zero. Enemies reroute in real time when the player changes the grid; most tower defence engines bake paths at level load.
