Summary

I have been working as a software engineer / architect / tech enthusiastic creator with 10 years of experience. I like challenges, solving problems, and finding creative approaches. I like to understand and see the big picture to ensure the best solution is applied. I'm the type of person who, if I believe in a vision and see a goal, no matter what obstacles come my way, I will find a solution to reach the goal. I like professional debates. I would say, the different approaches in a team or arguing for that approach or giving pros and cons, so that these can increase the chance to find the proper solution for a given problem.

Experiences

Head of Development

ISZT Nonprofit Kft     2022/06 - 2023/09

I have designed the new generation of ".hu" domain registry, using cutting edge technologies in a deeply distributed microservice architecture. I have recruited a team, and I have been leading them in the development of the DNS registry. This system gives a part of the skeleton of the worldwide network what we call: the internet.
Tech stack: Golang, Microservices(30+), Nats, Postgres cluster, on-premise Gitlab CI/CD, docker swarm, Portainer, Redis(RediSearch, JSON), on-premise docker registry, Redocly, Gherkin based test framework, ...etc)

Software Engineer - Architect

Fiorentini Hungary Kft     2019/06 - 2022/06

I have designed and implemented a complete server side solution for remote telemetry devices. These devices are in an ATEX environment which means they need to operate in an explosive environment(major gas distributors uses), so they have only a small battery for a couple of years. We have optimized their communication to survive these circumstances for 4-10 years depending on their configuration. The server controls the data stream from the devices, it can set their configuration remotely and initiate a remote FW update by configurable spreading zones. There are composable alerts which can inform the handler about the chosen anomalies.

Freelancer Software developer

Self Employed     2018/01 - 2019/06

At this time I have been working for blockchain focused companies as a contractor. I have participated in the development of one of the biggest hungarian cryptocurrency exchanges. I have developed most of the core exchange functions and several security related features of the site. I have designed and prototyped a bitcoin ATM for an other blockchain related company.

Embedded Linux Developer

Lesswire GmbH     2016/11 - 2018/01

As a main supplier of the automotive industry, we designed and manufactured custom linux based mini computers which have been installed in cars, buses and trains. We prepaired linux board support packages(aka:linux BSP) which could support the development of the further software layers for every manufacturer. I have designed a semi-automated Software Bill of Materials(aka: SBoM) producer environment which could make easier to create a several thousands pages long documentation. Before that it was a manual thing to do during every release period.

Hardware designer and Software Developer

Prolan Smart Energy Rendszerház Kft (trainee)     2014/02 - 2016/11

I have designed several smart metering devices, it involves the metrological methods, the electrical design, PCB routing and small series prototyping. I have also implemented their embedded FW in ANSI C and assembly programming language.

One of my favorite topic is AI. At the moment it’s a hobby and self-development, but in the future I would like to apply this knowledge in a real world project. I use to take courses in several topics of my interests: AI, People management, Cutting edge technical solutions and programming languages, Psychology, forex trading
