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,

Although I did that as a student, I consider
it my first job. You can contact <span class="b">Imre

information.</p>
<p>My first contract was made in <span class="b">2002</span>
with <span class="b">GaTeS Group Kft.</span>, a Budapest
based <span class="b">ISP</span> 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>. The
company went through several merges since then. My only contact
was Ákos Szabó, whose phone number is not reachable any more.</p>
<p>After that, I contracted with <span class="b">Webvilág
Kft.</span> in <span class="b">2004</span>. It was
a <span class="b">web development company</span>, where I was in
the role of both a <span class="b keyword" title="web

title="Systems administration">systems administrator</span>. I
have mastered <span class="b keyword">PHP</span> there, together

<p>My next job came in <span class="b">2006</span>, when I
contracted with <span class="b">eWorldCom Kft.</span>, a
small <span class="b">VoIP company</span>, developing a call
center software based on <span class="b
keyword">Asterisk</span>. 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 <span class="b keyword">Gentoo
Linux</span> 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 dont know any of their new contacts.</p>
<p>The job that followed was with <span class="b">Lufthansa

became the member of a large team supporting and administering
several thousand servers, mostly based on <span class="b

cluster technologies (<span class="b keyword">Heartbeat 2</span>

I left that company in <span class="b">2013</span> to work as

</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 Im developing a <span class="b

maintaining internal scripts written in both <span class="b

</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 write short

in <span class="b keyword">C</span>, whose source code is managed
with <span class="b keyword">Git</span>. When Im 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 Im
experimenting with Python.</p>
