About

I thrive in interdisciplinary environments as my goal is to integrate different fields of art and technology - to make connections, as I believe the way of human development is rather emotional than just technological. I wish to believe in a society where people are not just building blocks, but individuals who actively take part in the system they form.

In 2015, I began studying computer engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

In 2017, I left the university and became a full-time employee at Accedo, an OTT company. The job involved smart television application development and the construction of internal tools and processes.

In 2020, I relocated to Guadalajara, Mexico to work at the local Accedo office. The pandemic outbreak had forced all employees of the company to work from home which is where I started coming up with the concept for FreakShow, a point-and-click adventure game.

In 2021, I took a creative break from the world of information technology to study philosophy at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

In 2022, I moved back to Budapest and started working again.
