ABOUT ME
I grew up on the outskirts of Budapest: concrete blocks, Western culture flooding in through whatever cracks it could find. If something didn't exist, you built it yourself or you did without. That instinct never left. I moved through film, music management, sync licensing, festival building, software, EU networks because I kept finding gaps that bothered me enough to do something about them. Twenty years in, the gaps are different. The habit is the same.
