GAZDA IT & Marketing Specialist

I ran the company's websites day to day: code and content, prices, photo and video, and getting them back up when they went down. I set up lead forms and AdsQuiz quizzes that pass leads to the Kommo CRM.

I built an LLM agent, first on Gemini and later on Claude, that checks the company's property listings on DIM.RIA, LUN and OLX against the main spreadsheet every week. The weekly update went from a full working day for two people to about four hours for me alone.

The websites and brand concepts I made are under projects.
