AI Product Builder

01 · About

I'm a CEMS master's student in Budapest who builds AI products for real businesses.

I decide what to build and how it should behave, write the specs, and test the result against real data and real users. AI coding agents write the code. That's how I shipped ÁrFigyelő, a pricing tool six Hungarian companies have signed up for, and how I'm building Again, a sales agent for wholesale distributors.

Before that I ran a social-media agency in Amsterdam and helped grow the city's largest student event organiser, so I tend to start with who a product is for and why they'd pay for it.

Outside work: filmmaking, golf, tennis and motorsports.

  • In Seoul Feb–Jun 2027
