Building technology. Creating opportunities. Thinking beyond borders.
I’m Szabolcs Perjési, a 22-year-old technology entrepreneur from Szeged, Hungary. I graduated from the University of Szeged in June 2026 with a BSc in Computer Science, with honours (5.0). Since 2026, I have been pursuing an MSc in Computer Science at ELTE’s Faculty of Informatics. My software engineering background lets me turn ideas into working products.
Building ParkSafe introduced me to the broader work of entrepreneurship: understanding users, developing a product and bringing it to market. Built together with Patrik Kordás, the platform now has 5,000+ users and covers 675,000+ cycling-related locations across Europe.
In 2026 we won Red Bull Basement Hungary and represented Hungary among the global Top 48 in San Francisco. Startup competitions and international connections widened my focus to the people, communities and opportunities around technology.
My interests include technology, innovation and the European startup ecosystem. I’m looking to contribute firsthand founder perspectives to talks, conversations and international collaborations. I also apply my technical background as a full-stack developer at Revival27 Consulting RDI Kft.

A European cycling navigation and safety platform. Safer routes, bike parking and service points — all in one app. I built and launched it with co-founder Patrik Kordás. The journey from an idea to real users and the Red Bull Basement world final is an important part of my founder story.
