I am a data and AI entrepreneur and innovator with a long track record of working with the cultural sector and creative industries. As the founder of Reprex, a for-profit impact startup aligned with selected UN Sustainable Development Goals, I work with open data, open-source software, and open platforms. These platforms, such as the Open Music Observatory or OpenCollections, are designed to enable public–private partnerships that help independent, niche, and minority cultural content remain visible and fairly remunerated on global platforms. You can read more about my professional work and related scientific R&D activities on the Reprex website.
Throughout my life, I have maintained a strong interest in various forms of art. Coming from a family of musicians and photographers, I work professionally with music and have been actively involved in photography since the age of eight. I can create and restore both archaic and modern analogue photographs, as well as digital images and scans; I also work with locating photographs and collections, and interpreting their history and production. I enjoy reading and writing in my mother tongue, Hungarian. Thanks to excellent teachers and editors, I have published essays at a high level that I unfortunately cannot reproduce in English, the language I use most days. This attachment to language connects me to Finno-Ugric communities, who are kindred spirits using expressive and, to the outside world, somewhat hidden languages. This personal website is mainly devoted to these interests.
