About
Lippényi Tamás
I’m Tamás Lippényi, an IT professional and entrepreneur with an engineering mindset, and I find it rather difficult to stick to just one field.
I have been involved in computing since early childhood, in the early 1980s. Over that time, I have explored almost everything from software development, systems administration, and networking to IT security. These days I focus mainly on IT security architecture, systems design, and artificial intelligence, but I have not left programming behind.
Alongside computing, I am interested in electronics, hardware, and technology in general. I enjoy taking things apart, understanding them, modifying them, and, when necessary, rebuilding them from scratch. I particularly enjoy questioning solutions that others take for granted. Just because everyone does something the same way does not necessarily make it the best approach.
I have helped launch and run several businesses, so the business side of technology is familiar territory too. I like ideas that can become more than an interesting technical experiment: ideas that can turn into a product or service that actually works.
Artificial intelligence particularly interests me because I believe it will fundamentally transform not only computing, but also the economy and society. I am less interested in marketing promises than in what lies behind the technology, what it can really do, and where it is taking us.
In my spare time, I am usually working on some technical project, but sport shooting and computer games have also been part of my life for many years. Sometimes I ponder questions that seem to have nothing to do with computing, such as the fundamental workings of physics.
This site is really a collection of everything that interests me: my own projects, technical curiosities, experiences, opinions, and occasionally some rather wild theories.
I do not claim to always be right. But I do not accept that something is true just because everyone says it is.
