The Lore

My name is Dorian Balogh, and I have been working with computers and electronics for over years. Ever since I can remember, I have had a passion for taking apart anything and everything to understand how it works. This curiosity led me into the tech industry, starting with cell phones. After spending some time at a small kiosk, I transitioned to a role as an administrative worker at a small computer repair shop. Unfortunately, this position was short-lived as the shop couldn’t sustain so many employees.

I then sought other opportunities in my field, but times were tough, and I struggled to find work. After relocating to a new city, I secured two jobs—one in security and the other in cell phones. I held these positions for several years, gradually building my knowledge of security and recognizing the vulnerabilities in technology. During this period, massive hacks occurred almost weekly, which deeply concerned me. This realization drove me to explore server work and self-hosting to ensure that if I were ever hacked, I could only blame myself.

As the years went by, I took on various roles, even becoming a regional manager for Samsung’s cell phone department. However, that position didn’t last long, as a devastating software update impacted the entire human race for a couple of years. During this challenging time, my father encouraged me to pursue higher education. I applied to university and was accepted just a week later to study for my bachelor’s degree in computer science.

Fast forward to 2024, and I am still working as a security guard when a friend suggests, “Why don’t you just start your own company?” Always wanting to work for myself, I thought, why not? This brings us to today, where, with five years of server experience and six years of cyber security research and knowledge, along with a burning passion for the right to repair, I present to you CyberConnect—where technology meets security.
