"Discipline isn't a buzzword for me — it's a daily protocol."
Alongside my Computer Science Engineering studies at Óbuda University, I teach 10 hours a week, follow a strict fitness routine, and love cooking. Each of these is a small system — and I run them all in parallel.
This is how I learned to context-switch between deep technical work, communication, and creativity. The same focus I bring to a CTF challenge, I bring to a recipe, a deadlift, or a student who just doesn't get recursion yet.
Translating complex topics into clear, patient explanations.
Long-term consistency over short-term motivation.
Creativity, precision, and timing — same skills, different domain.
Computer Science Engineering @ Óbuda University.
Active certifications and learning paths I am committed to. Tracked, measured, and updated continuously.
Network defense fundamentals in progress (CCST).
Daily hands-on practice.
Cracking server-side vulnerabilities.
Full-stack work in C#, .NET and SQL. To break things responsibly, you have to know how they're built.
Developed a secure C# / .NET application for comprehensive financial transaction management, focusing heavily on OWASP Top 10 mitigation.
Designed a complex ASP.NET Razor application for tracking high-value corporate assets with a primary focus on access control and output integrity.
Open to internships, junior SOC roles, mentorship and any cybersecurity project where curiosity and discipline are valued.
