Please tell us about your background — where you grew up in Budapest, what you did professionally before entering iGaming, and how you first found your way into the affiliate space. I grew up in Hungary, in a family home with a big garden, fruit trees, and animals. It was a happy childhood — the kind where you don’t notice you don’t have much money because everything else is there. My parents gave me what they could, which turned out to be more than enough. My father was a carpenter. From the age of 18 he had cut fingers, and despite that he got up every morning and worked a full day, every day, so I could eat, get dressed, and eventually go to Corvinus University of Budapest. My mother stood by him until his last moment. I owe them everything. My father passed away eight years ago. He was my only role model, and honestly he still is. Whatever I build, I hope it reflects the way he worked. Before iGaming, I worked in web design, IT, and consulting. I was always the person who wanted to understand how something worked and then figure out how to make it work better.
