About me

Portrait of the author

My name is (they/them), and I’m a hacker, designer, musician, artist, and all-around creative person based in Budapest, Hungary.

I make all sorts of things, some of which you’ll find on this site. I have a deep professional background in designing digital products, but I’m now pivoting my career into cybersecurity. I’ve picked up ethical hacking in 2024 and have been actively hunting for security vulnerabilities as a bug bounty hunter. Now working full-time as a red team engineer since 2025.
