Károly Nyisztor is a software engineer-turned-instructional author and founder with over a decade of hands-on experience building mobile and enterprise software for companies like SAP and Apple-era projects, now focused on teaching software development to a global audience. Since 2016 he founded Leakka and has created courses and materials on Udemy, Pluralsight, and LinkedIn Learning that have reached hundreds of thousands of learners in topics from iOS and Swift to machine learning and software architecture. He combines deep low-level knowledge—from Assembly and C++ to modern Swift and Python—with practical product experience, holding 12 patents in mobile computing and shipping iOS apps featured by Apple. Based in Hungary but active internationally, he blends entrepreneurial drive with a knack for turning complex engineering concepts into accessible, hands-on learning experiences. Less obvious: his background spans both startup product shipping and large-enterprise architecture, which helps him teach both practical coding skills and the design thinking required to scale real-world systems.
