History
Zsolt and the other cofounders met while working at one of the pioneering companies in Fintech. After a long career in the fintech industry over the last 15 years we have found that our respective experiences could be best put to use by offering our services directly to our old and new customers.
We combine best in class software engineering with project and program management as well as business analysis and consulting.
