Architecture meets delivery

I architect data platforms that actually get used — systems that are fast, trusted, and built to scale with the business.

Over 25 years I've designed and delivered data solutions across the world's most demanding environments: Nokia's global CEM platform, Accenture's Azure data practice, IKEA's retail warehouse, the UK National Health Service, and now IFUA Horváth's enterprise clients — spanning Hungary, Europe, and beyond.

My sweet spot is the intersection of architecture and delivery. I don't just draw diagrams — I lead teams, mentor engineers, and stay hands-on with Azure, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, and SAP to make sure what gets built actually works in production.
