About the author

:url: about/

:status: published
Gergely Polonkai is a systems engineer of a telco company, and also a freelancer self- and
software developer.
He is learning about different IT subjects since the late 1990s. These include web development,
application building, systems engineering, IT security and many others. He also dug his nose
deeply into free software, dealing with different types of Linux and its applications, while also
writing and contributing to some open source projects.
On this site he is writing posts about different stuff he faces during work (oh my, yet another IT
solutions blog), hoping they can help others with their job, or just to get along with their brand
new netbook that shipped with Linux.
.. epigraph::
I believe one can only achieve success if they follow their own instincts and listen to, but
not bend under others’ opinions. If you change your course just because someone says so, you
are following their instincts, not yours.

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
<p>
I am <span class="b" itemprop="name">Gergely Polonkai</span> (sometimes referred
to as <span itemprop="nickname">W00d5t0ck</span> or <span
itemprop="nickname">Polesz</span>), a <span class="b" itemprop="jobTitle">software
developer, systems engineer and administrator</span>. I was born on <span
class="b" itemprop="birthDate">7 March, 1983</span> in Budapest, Hungary. I spent
my life moving here-and-there in the country, and finally settled in <span
class="b" itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Address"> <span
itemprop="locality">Veresegyház</span></span>.
</p>
<p>
You can reach me on <span class="b" itemprop="email">gergely@polonkai.eu</span>,
or by phone on <span class="b" itemprop="telephone">+36 (30) 7375-706</span>. I
fluently speak and write <span class="b">English</span> and <span
class="b">Hungarian</span> and currently learning Icelandic.
</p>
<p>
I have <span class="b">graduated in 2001</span> from <span class="i">Táncsics
Mihály Szakközépiskola, Szakiskola és Kollégium</span>, an architecture high
school based in Veszprém, Hungary. There, I learned about <span
class="b">electricity and elevators</span>, while getting my feet wet in the area
of IT systems engineering. Together with some teachers, we developed <span
class="b keyword" title="network building">the IT infrastructure of the school,
building it from scratch</span> with <span class="b keyword">Windows XP</span>
based clients, and <span class="b keyword">Debian GNU/Linux</span> servers with
<span class="b keyword">Squid proxy</span>, an <span class="b keyword">Apache
httpd</span> web server, <span class="b keyword">Exim</span>+<span class="b
keyword">Courier IMAP</span> based internal mailing and a <span class="b
keyword">Samba file server</span>. Meanwhile, I have created the school’s first
<span class="b keyword" title="web development">web page</span> using <span
class="b keyword">Perl CGI</span>, and later it’s replacement in <span class="b
keyword">PHP</span>. Although I did that as a student, I consider it my first
job.
</p>
<p>
My first contract was made in <span class="b">2002</span> with a small Budapest
based ISP that served Internet connection to a large warren. I have mastered Linux
based <span class="b keyword" title="firewalls">firewalling and routing</span>
there using <span class="b keyword noupper">iptables</span>, and <span class="b
keyword" title="QoS">tc for QoS</span>. I have also created a <span class="b">web
page</span> for the company using <span class="b keyword">PHP</span> and <span
class="b keyword" title="MySQL database development">MySQL</span>.
</p>
<p>
After that I contracted with a small <span class="b">web development
company</span> in <span class="b">2004</span>. Here I was in the role of both a
<span class="b keyword" title="web development">web developer</span> and a <span
class="b keyword" title="Systems administration">systems administrator</span>. I
have mastered <span class="b keyword">PHP</span> there, together with <span
class="b keyword">MySQL administration</span>. I also built a small <span class="b
keyword" title="routers">router</span>/<span class="b keyword"
title="firewalls">firewall</span> out of a PC for office needs.
</p>
<p>
My next job came in <span class="b">2006</span>, when I contracted with a small
<span class="b">VoIP company</span> developing a call center software based on
<span class="b keyword">Asterisk</span>. My job here was to create a base system
for this software as small as possible, while managing the old, Ubuntu based
ones. For the new version we targeted <span class="b keyword">Gentoo Linux</span>
because of its possible small size, and performance reasons.
</p>
<p>
The job that followed was with a world-wide IT services company in <span
class="b">2007</span>, where I became a member of a large team supporting and
administering several thousand servers, mostly based on <span class="b
keyword">Red Hat Enterprise Linux</span> and <span class="b keyword">SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server</span>. There I mastered cluster technologies (both <span
class="b keyword">Heartbeat 2</span> and <span class="b keyword">Red Hat
Cluster</span>), <span class="b keyword">SAN</span>, <span class="b keyword
noupper">iSCSI</span> and <span class="b keyword">NFS</span> based storages, <span
class="b keyword">Apache httpd</span> and <span class="b keyword">Tomcat</span>
web servers, administration of <span class="b keyword" title="MySQL
administration">MySQL</span> and <span class="b keyword" title="Oracle 10g
Database Administration">Oracle 10g Database</span>s, <span class="b
keyword">Bacula</span> based backup, <span class="b keyword">Windows 2003
Server</span> and <span class="b keyword">Windows Server 2008</span> (both
standalone and cluster) with <span class="b keyword">Active Directory</span>,
<span class="b keyword">Group Policy</span>, <span class="b keyword">Microsoft
Exchange Server 2005</span> and <span class="b keyword">Microsoft SQL Server
2005</span>, <span class="b keyword">Xen Open Source</span> virtualization, <span
class="b keyword">Citrix XenServer</span> and <span class="b keyword"
title="Citrix XenApp">XenApp</span>, <span class="b keyword">VMware ESXi</span>
and <span class="b keyword" title="VMware vSphere">vSphere</span>, <span class="b
keyword">Nagios</span> monitoring (and <span class="b keyword">monitoring</span>
in general), and last, but not least, <span class="b keyword">Linux
hardening</span> (<span class="b keyword">SELinux</span>, firewalls of different
kinds, fighting <span class="b keyword">application security</span> issues).
</p>
<p>
All this knowledge came in very handy, when I went to a leading Hungarian
financial company in <span class="b">2010</span>. The IT infrastructure was in a
very bad shape there, and my job was to rebuild the Linux parts from scratch. We
utilized <span class="b keyword">Debian GNU/Linux</span> servers (both standalone
and <span class="b keyword">Heartbeat 2</span> clusters), <span class="b
keyword">Apache httpd</span> web servers, <span class="b
keyword">Exim</span>+<span class="b keyword">Courier IMAP</span> for mailing,
<span class="b keyword">Bacula</span> based backup, <span class="b keyword"
title="MySQL administration">MySQL</span> and <span class="b keyword"
title="PostgreSQL administration">PostgreSQL</span> database servers, <span
class="b">Oracle Database</span>s (both <span class="keyword" title="Oracle 10g
Database Administration">10g</span> and <span class="keyword" title="Oracle 11g
Database Administration">11g</span>), <span class="b">Microsoft SQL Server</span>s
(both <span class="keyword" title="Microsoft SQL Server 2005">2005</span> and
<span class="keyword" title="Microsoft SQL Server 2008">2008</span>), <span
class="b keyword">Windows 2003 Server</span> and <span class="b keyword">Windows
Server 2008</span> (both standalone and clusters), <span class="b keyword">Active
Directory</span>, <span class="b keyword">Group Policy</span>, centralised <span
class="b keyword">ESET NOD32 anti-virus</span>, <span class="b keyword">Windows
cluster</span> based <span class="b keyword" title="Microsoft File Server">file
server with AD backend</span>, <span class="b keyword">WSUS</span>, <span class="b
keyword">OTRS::ITSM</span> helpdesk, <span class="b keyword">Zabbix</span> based
monitoring, virtualization with <span class="b keyword">Citrix XenServer</span>,
IT security solutions with <span class="b keyword">SonicWall</span> appliances,
<span class="b keyword">SELinux</span>, <span class="b keyword">Snort</span> and
<span class="b keyword noupper">iptables</span>, <span class="b
keyword">Perl</span> for system administration scripts, and <span class="b
keyword">PHP</span> and the <span class="b keyword">Symfony 2</span> framework for
internal web development. Although much has changed in this list since then, it
was my best and most challenging experience so far.
</p>
<p>
I left that company in <span class="b">2013</span> to work as a <span
class="b">freelancer developer</span> and a <span class="b">systems
engineer</span> for a <span class="b">startup network monitoring
company</span>. Here we were building a help desk system using open source
products like <span class="b keyword">OTRS::ITSM</span>, <span class="b
keyword">OpenLDAP</span>, and <span class="b keyword">Zabbix</span>. I also dug my
nose into <span class="b keyword">Docsis</span> based ISP networks and <span
class="b keyword">SIP</span>-based telephony.
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately our main employer went bankrupt in <span class="b">2014</span>, so
after a few months of freelancing I got a new job at the R&amp;D division of a
leading telecommunications company. My current role is pretty close to
DevOps. Nowadays I’m developing a <span class="b keyword">Django</span>-based
internal web application, while maintaining internal scripts written in both <span
class="b keyword">Perl</span>, <span class="b keyword">Python</span>, <span
class="b keyword">bash</span> and <span class="b keyword">tcsh</span> or trying to
migrate the internal source code repositories from <span class="b
keyword">ClearCase</span> to <span class="b keyword">Git</span>.
</p>
<p>
I left that company in 2016, as such a slow moving giant couldn’t really keep up
with my pace. I signed with another startup creating games capable of analysing
work behaviour. Here we mainly use <span class="b keyword">Flask</span>, <span
class="b keyword">Cassandra</span>, and <span class="b keyword">Tensorflow</span>.
Unlike the previous one, this is a true learning organization, and given its size,
it is capable of taking quick turns if market changes (and that’s exactly what I
need).
</p>
<p>
In my <span class="b">free time</span>, I wander in forests, take pictures, and
sometimes manipulate them with the <span class="b keyword">GIMP</span>. Sometimes
I <span class="b">write</span> short fantasy or sci-fi novels using <span class="b
keyword">LibreOffice</span>. I am also developing some software in <span class="b
keyword">C</span>, <span class="b keyword">Python</span>, and <span class="b
keyword">Vala</span>, whose source code is managed with <span class="b
keyword">Git</span>. When I’m not in the mood for writing, I go and check out the
news on several technical areas, mostly IT and engineering, or give a try to a new
programming language in the name of “why not?”.
