About
Lithuanian programmer and entrepreneur.
I build practical software at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI, business, and civic technology. My work ranges from CTF automation and competition tooling to city-planning maps, anti-fraud products, and fast SaaS prototypes.
The focus is simple: make tools that look serious, work clearly, and solve a real problem — not demo pages that only exist for a hackathon pitch.
