Budapest, Hungary

First of all, I want to thank you for taking the time to read my articles.

I am a virtualization and cloud professional working with one of the largest telecom vendor companies.

As a primary solution architect for telco cloud, I have led a number of telecom infrastructure modernization projects, including the world’s largest telco cloud projects.

I am a highly motivated and innovative thinker with a passion for learning. I always focus on problem-solving and think outside the box in order to come up with unique solutions to problems.

My experience in the telecom industry has given me the ability to think deeply and critically about a wide range of topics related to running complex telco applications on modern infrastructure with software-defined networking. These topics include cloud economics, orchestration and automation, security, DevOps, and cloud-native technologies.
