Professional Profile

I like to build things. When I was 8, I started to learn programming because it felt like playing with a complex LEGO. You use 'small parts' that can work together and can be built upon each other to archive something extraordinary. Of course building something special means totally different thing for an 8-year-old than for adult professionals but all through my career I was looking for the opportunities that brought me back to the situation where I could build or improve.

This is the reason I enjoy creating graphic assets, developing web-based and mobile applications or even managing datacenter network components. Everything is a 'small LEGO brick' and everything can be improved or built upon.

    Operations Manager

    Lajos has always been a very talented key player of the team I managed. He's standing out of the crowd through his innovative ideas, analytic thinking, result-oriented mindset, flexibility and the ability to deliver the expected results under heavy pressure. I strongly recommend him, he also has a very friendly appearance and he's even capable of bringing convergence into a team, motivating others with his attitude regarding everyday work.

  • Marcey Schadel

    Situation Manager

    It is a pleasure whenever I work with Lajos. We can always rely on him to provide excellent explanations of his technical actions in a way that non-network people can understand. He is consistently professional and courteous, and when he is engaged for an issue I am managing, I am confident that it is in good hands. Although you have other good people on the team, I wish you had 20 more like Lajos. He is a true asset to the company.

  • Ede Imrek

    Architect

    When I worked for ITSH, Lajos and I were in the same team...I always could count on him despite of day and night and origin of the problems. There were few serious situation where we sat together in the same customer call and he always could calm down customers because he could describe the ongoing situations, what different teams should check, what our team already checked and he represented our finding, so he kept problems under control.

  • Norbert Tamaga

    Configuration Engineer

    Lajos is a talent, who can handle and manage every situation very professional.
    He is a real teamplayer who helped a lot, while we worked together.
