We don't just write code.
We engineer solutions.
I've been in this industry for 18 years. 15 of those dedicated to designing, building, and leading teams on complex web systems. Not because it was the only path – but because it's what I'm truly passionate about.
Meet the Founders
Paál Gyula
Founder & Lead Architect
Founder and technical lead with 19+ years of experience in software development, cybersecurity, and innovative technology solutions. Drives the research and development of PiLAB products.
Our Story
In 2007, I wrote my first line of code that solved a real problem.I wasn't even 20 years old yet, but I already knew: I didn''t just want to program. I wanted to find solutions. Ones that work. Ones that matter.
Those early years, I learned everything a developer could learn: frontend, backend, architecture, teamwork. But what truly shaped me wasn't the technology – it was the people. The clients who trusted us. The teammates we built with. The challenges that no one else would take on.
In 2011, we founded PiLAB.We're not coming at you with a garage startup story – but with a commitment to never settling for "good enough."If there's a better architecture, a more elegant solution, a more efficient approach – we keep searching until we find it.
For 15 years, I've been designing and building web systems. Enterprise applications, complex backend architectures, real-time platforms. I've led teams of 15+ people, and in every single project, I asked the same question:
"If this were our own product, what would we do differently?"
That question has guided us every single time. We didn't look for the fastest solution. Not the cheapest one. The best one.And if that meant rethinking the entire architecture – we did it.
Today, we deliver solutions to clients across 10+ countries. But what truly matters isn't the numbers – it's that we approach every single project with the same fire as day one. Because this isn't just our job. It's our calling.
The Journey That Brought Us Here
The First Line of Code
I wrote my first line of code that solved a real problem. I wasn't even 20 yet, but I already knew: I didn't just want to program. I wanted to build things that mattered.
The team was born
We founded GW-Systems Kft. in Budapest. Not another IT company – but a team that refuses to settle for "good enough." From day one, we chased the best solution, not the easiest one.
Leading Teams & Complex Systems
7+ person teams, enterprise web architectures, real-time platforms using JavaEE and JSF. Every project was a new challenge where "impossible" wasn't in our vocabulary.
Progressive Innovation LAB
We started a new company that specializes in custom software development, legacy modernization, cybersecurity solutions, and innovative technology products.
The First Big Project
We built a real-time platform for a global cyber-security company. It was a complex architecture, but we delivered it on time and on budget.
18 Years. 50+ Projects. One Mission.
Today we deliver innovative solutions to clients across 10+ countries. But what truly matters: we approach every single project with the same fire as day one.
What Drives Us
We don't just deliver technology. We stand for values that show up in every single line of code we write.
Innovation, Not Buzzwords
The question is never what's trendy. It's what solves your problem best. We always pursue innovative solutions – but never innovation for its own sake.
Uncompromising Ownership
We build as if it were our own product. Every line of code, every architectural decision is made with your long-term success in mind.
Engineering Excellence
Strict quality standards, comprehensive testing, automated CI/CD pipelines, and robust security from day one.
