04 / ABOUT
Apparently I'm
supposed to put
a bio here.
I'm Istvan Kovacs, based in Auckland, New Zealand.
I like finding problems, opportunities and occasionally things nobody asked to have solved.
My background sits somewhere between business, technology, data, automation and an unreasonable urge to turn ideas into actual products.
AI changed one important thing for me: the distance between ‘what if?’ and ‘let’s find out.’
So that's mostly what I do.
