My Story

I ditched the B2B ladder to build products that actually matter

14 years climbing from developer to CTO. Worked with brands like Glenfiddich and Volkswagen. Then realized: who cares? Now I'm building products that help people become who they aspire to be.

The Journey

2011

The Beginning

Started working as a developer with big brands like Glenfiddich, Volkswagen UK, and Bundesliga.

2016

New Horizons

Relocated from the UK to Budapest, Hungary. Found a new home.

2018

Climbed to CTO

Rose through the ranks to become CTO, leading technical teams and architecture decisions.

2018

Payment Gateway Launch

Launched OTP SimplePay payment gateway plugin in Hungary. Success until Stripe entered the market.

2020-2022

Polkadot Tiger

Spent 2 years building a startup. Reached the end and realized: who cares about helping agencies make another million?

2022

The B2C Shift

Moved to B2C products. Language Drops became my first B2C product, marking the transition to impact-driven work.

Now

StillMind & Beyond

Building products that help people live better lives. Juggling full-time work, product building, and being present for my two kids (4 & 2).

"

I spent 2 years working on Polkadot Tiger. When I got to the end, I just didn't want to anymore.

Who cares if I helped an agency make an extra million? It felt pointless.

That's when everything changed. I switched from B2B to B2C. From helping businesses optimize to helping people live better. This isn't just a career pivot—it's my mission, and I will be successful doing it.

What Drives Me

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Family First

Building products to create freedom for school runs, swimming lessons, and being present.

🎯

Impact Over Income

No more helping businesses make millions. Now focused on making people's lives genuinely better.

🚀

Product Builder

From frustrated developer to full-stack product creator. Building what people actually need.

🌍

Budapest Based

UK-born, Hungary-raised family. Found home in Budapest since 2016.

Life Today

I'm based in Budapest, Hungary—moved here from the UK in 2016 and found my home. I have two young kids (4 and 2), and I'm juggling a full-time job, building my own products, and being a present father.

It's exhausting, but I'm doing it all for them—so I can spend more time with them. It's not that I don't like working; I thrive on it. I want the freedom and flexibility to do the school runs, take my son to swimming lessons, watch him play football.

I want to design my life around my family, and I build products to make that dream a reality.

The Mission

I build products that help people become who they aspire to be.

After years of B2B work that felt hollow, I've found what matters: creating tools that genuinely improve lives. Whether it's meditation, productivity, or personal growth—I'm here to build products that make a difference.
