<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">Budapest</span></span>. Although
|
||
I have already found my mate for life, I
|
||
am <span class="b">single</span> yet (living in a common-law
|
||
marriage), being the proud father of a son and a daughter.</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>.</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. You can contact <span class="b">Imre
|
||
Pataki</span> at +36 (20) 970-5830 if you need more
|
||
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
|
||
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. Although the company has changed its name to Fejlesztők
|
||
Háza Kft., you may still contact <span class="b">Péter Bali</span>
|
||
at +36 (70) 318-4050.</p>
|
||
<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 don’t know any of their new contacts.</p>
|
||
<p>The job that followed was with <span class="b">Lufthansa
|
||
Systems Hungary</span> in <span class="b">2007</span>, where I
|
||
became the 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 (<span class="b keyword">Heartbeat 2</span>
|
||
and <span class="b keyword">Red Hat
|
||
Cluster</span>), <span class="b
|
||

and <span class="b keyword">Tomcat</span> web servers,

firewalls of different kinds, fighting <span class="b

was <span class="b">László Kiss-Kalló</span>, who can be reached
|
||
on +36 (30) 429-9483.</p>
|
||
<p>All this knowledge came in very handy, when I went
|
||
to <span class="b">Brokernet Group Zrt.</span>
|
||
in <span class="b">2010</span>. The IT infrastructure was in a
|
||
very bad shape there, and our job was to rebuild most of it from
|
||
scratch. We utilized <span class="b keyword">Debian

GNU/Linux</span> servers (both standalone and <span class="b
|
||

|

changed in this list since then, it was my best experience so
|

far. You can contact <span class="b">Attila Balogh</span> on +36
|

(30) 924-8179.</p>
|
||
<p>Since I left the company in <span class="b">2013</span>, I am
|
||
working 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 are 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>.</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
|
||
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>, 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?”. Currently I’m
|
||
experimenting with Python.</p>
|
||
<p>As an employee I am looking for firms where can I use and
|
||
develop my skills, while getting financial stability through an
|
||
interesting job.</p>
