Building at the intersection of biotech, capital, and community — one project at a time.
I'm a Budapest-based student currently building, alongside studying Finance & Accounting at Corvinus University. I got here through synthetic biology research, running a student business platform, and two years inside Hungary's entrepreneurship network — I care about turning early, unglamorous ideas into things that work.

Where curiosity leads me.
Links, research, and ideas I stumble on and find worth sharing — no particular theme, just what's caught my attention lately.
Great ideas come from dialogue.
