Our people

The people behind the work.

In the mid-1900s, a handful of Hungarian scientists, John von Neumann among them, were so far ahead of their time that colleagues joked they must be from Mars. As the story goes, Leo Szilard said the aliens were already here; they just called themselves Hungarians. We took the name as a standard to live up to: a small team of founders and senior engineers who spend our time years ahead.
