About

I'm a final-semester Computer Engineering (mérnök-informatikus) BSc student at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). Since January 2025 I've been an IT intern at Movasol Energy, where I handle cloud administration, server maintenance, DNS and domain operations, and build internal web tooling. In September I join PCS-SYSTEM as a Junior Systems Engineer.
