I am Gergely Polonkai - (sometimes referred to - as W00d5t0ck - or Polesz), a software developer, systems engineer and - administrator. I was born on 7 March, 1983 in Budapest, Hungary. I - spent my life moving here-and-there in the country, and finally - settled in - Budapest. Although - I have already found my mate for life, I - am single yet (living in a common-law - marriage), being the proud father of a son and a daughter.

-

You can reach me on gergely@polonkai.eu, or by phone - on +36 (30) - 7375-706. I fluently speak and - write English - and Hungarian.

-

I have graduated in 2001 - from Táncsics Mihály Szakközépiskola, Szakiskola - és Kollégium, an architecture high school based in - Veszprém, Hungary. There, I learned - about electricity and elevators, while - getting my feet wet in the area of IT systems - engineering. Together with some teachers, we - developed the IT - infrastructure of the school, building it from scratch - with Windows XP based clients, - and Debian GNU/Linux servers - with Squid proxy, an Apache httpd web server, Exim+Courier IMAP - based internal mailing and a Samba file - server. Meanwhile, I have created the school’s - first web - page using Perl CGI, and - later it’s replacement in PHP. - Although I did that as a student, I consider - it my first job. You can contact Imre - Pataki at +36 (20) 970-5830 if you need more - information.

-

My first contract was made in 2002 - with GaTeS Group Kft., a Budapest - based ISP that served Internet connection - to a large warren. I have mastered Linux based firewalling and routing there - using iptables, - and tc for QoS. I have - also created a web page for the company - using PHP and MySQL. The - company went through several merges since then. My only contact - was Ákos Szabó, whose phone number is not reachable any more.

-

After that, I contracted with Webvilág - Kft. in 2004. It was - a web development company, where I was in - the role of both a web developer and a systems administrator. I - have mastered PHP there, together - with MySQL administration. I also - built a small router/firewall out of a PC for office - needs. Although the company has changed its name to Fejlesztők - Háza Kft., you may still contact Péter Bali - at +36 (70) 318-4050.

-

My next job came in 2006, when I - contracted with eWorldCom Kft., a - small VoIP company, developing a call - center software based on Asterisk. My job was to create a small base system - for this software, while managing the old, Ubuntu based ones. For - the new version we targeted Gentoo - Linux because of its possible small size, and performance - reasons. The company since then merged with Virtual Call Center - Kft. You may reach my ex-bosses (Tamás Jalsovszky and Szabolcs - Tóth) there, altough I don’t know any of their new contacts.

-

The job that followed was with Lufthansa - Systems Hungary in 2007, where I - became the member of a large team supporting and administering - several thousand servers, mostly based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. There I mastered - cluster technologies (Heartbeat 2 - and Red Hat - Cluster), SAN, iSCSI - and NFS based - storages, Apache httpd - and Tomcat web servers, - administration of MySQL and Oracle 10g - Databases, Bacula based - backup, Windows 2003 Server - and Windows Server 2008 (both - standalone and cluster) with Active - Directory, Group - Policy, Microsoft Exchange Server - 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server - 2005, Xen Open Source - virtualization, Citrix XenServer - and XenApp, VMware ESXi - and vSphere, Nagios - monitoring (and monitoring in - general), and last, but not least, Linux - hardening (SELinux, - firewalls of different kinds, fighting application security issues). My boss - was László Kiss-Kalló, who can be reached - on +36 (30) 429-9483.

-

All this knowledge came in very handy, when I went - to Brokernet Group Zrt. - in 2010. The IT infrastructure was in a - very bad shape there, and our job was to rebuild most of it from - scratch. We utilized Debian - GNU/Linux servers (both standalone and Heartbeat 2 clusters), Apache httpd web servers, Exim+Courier IMAP - for mailing, Bacula based - backup, MySQL and PostgreSQL database - servers, Oracle Databases - (both 10g and 11g), Microsoft SQL - Servers (both 2005 and 2008), Windows 2003 Server and Windows Server 2008 (both standalone and - clusters), Active - Directory, Group Policy, - centralised ESET NOD32 - anti-virus, Windows cluster - based file - server with AD backend, WSUS, OTRS::ITSM - helpdesk, Zabbix based monitoring, - virtualization with Citrix - XenServer, IT security solutions with SonicWall appliances, SELinux, Snort - and iptables, Perl for - system administration scripts, and PHP and the Symfony - 2 framework for internal web development. Although much has - changed in this list since then, it was my best experience so - far. You can contact Attila Balogh on +36 - (30) 924-8179.

-

Since I left the company in 2013, I am - working as a freelancer developer and - a systems engineer for - a startup network monitoring company. Here - we are building a help desk system using open source products - like OTRS::ITSM, OpenLDAP, and Zabbix.

-

In my free time, I wander in forests, - take pictures, and sometimes manipulate them with - the GIMP. Sometimes I write short - fantasy or sci-fi novels using LibreOffice. I am also developing some software - in C, whose source code is managed - with Git. 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?”. Currently I’m - experimenting with Python.

-

As an employee I am looking for firms where can I use and - develop my skills, while getting financial stability through an - interesting job.

+ All this knowledge came in very handy, when I went to a + leading Hungarian financial company + in 2010. The IT infrastructure was in a + very bad shape there, and my job was to rebuild the Linux + parts from scratch. We utilized Debian + GNU/Linux servers (both standalone and Heartbeat 2 clusters), Apache httpd web servers, Exim+Courier + IMAP for mailing, Bacula + based backup, MySQL and PostgreSQL database + servers, Oracle Databases + (both 10g and 11g), Microsoft SQL + Servers (both 2005 and 2008), Windows 2003 Server and Windows Server 2008 (both standalone and + clusters), Active + Directory, Group Policy, + centralised ESET NOD32 + anti-virus, Windows + cluster based file server with AD + backend, WSUS, OTRS::ITSM helpdesk, Zabbix based monitoring, virtualization + with Citrix XenServer, IT + security solutions with SonicWall appliances, SELinux, Snort + and iptables, Perl + for system administration scripts, and PHP and the Symfony + 2 framework for internal web development.

+ +

+ Unfortunately our main employer went bankrupt + in 2014, so after a few months of + freelancing I got a new job at the R&D division of a + leading telecommunications company. My current role is pretty + close to DevOps. Nowadays I’m developing a Django-based internal web application, while + maintaining internal scripts written in both Perl, Python, bash + and + tcsh or trying to migrate the + internal source code repositories from ClearCase to Git. +
