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 nearly 20 years of experience designing digital products, but I’ve recently pivoted 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 in my personal time. I’ve been employed as a full-time ethical hacker since 2025. Read my CV, or see what I’m up to now.

I occasionally publish write-ups on my endeavors in cybersecurity, hacking, bug bounty hunting.
