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, and I’m currently employed as a UX design manager. I’ve recently picked up ethical hacking and have been actively hunting for security vulnerabilities since early 2024 as a bug bounty hunter.
