Project Owner, Hungarian Startup University Program #
I led the technical direction and coordination of HackSynth’s proposed autonomous pentesting service. With two teammates and a mentor, I developed its business plan and pitched to the jury at Demo Day after being invited to the event. We explored SMEs, larger organisations and security service providers as customers, and worked through positioning, competitor analysis and customer trust. Weekly meetings connected the business work to our research with Lajos Muzsai and András Lukács. Reliability was a central engineering question: the agent needed to find vulnerabilities without damaging a customer’s system. The ELTE interview describes our responsibilities and plans. Our deliverables were a business plan and pitch built around the research prototype; automatic remediation remained a proposed extension.

Captain of the Hungarian CyberSecurity Team #
I joined the Hungarian team in 2022 and became captain in August 2024. Alongside coordinating cooperation, and keeping information moving between players, I coordinate with coaches and watchdogs, while also continuing to solve challenges and manage infrastructure. My 2025 competition note describes that combination of technical work and communication. By 2026 I had competed in five consecutive ECSC editions: Vienna, Hamar, Turin, Warsaw and Bochum.
