Author: Dr. György Wagner

He graduated as a mechanical engineer from the University of Heavy Industry (currently the University of Miskolc), but when choosing his profession, he was already looking for where he could study more computer science. Thus, although his diploma states he is a Process Designer Engineer, he may not have worked a minute in his closely related profession. He has been teaching computer science since the beginning and considers himself a lucky person who can engage in what he loves. Like many, he initially had a superficial relationship with pens in high school, which later became closer. He has not yet achieved his goal of learning to write beautifully, but he has not given up. From time to time, he explores various writing instruments, which led him to the Facebook group „Pens and Watches,” where he encountered numerous useful information, ideas, and friends. He is not really a collector of pens in the strict sense of the word. He seeks the beauty and possibilities inherent in pens.
