Education, professional qualification:
  • Electrical Engineer - BME

  • Between 1965 and 1976, he was an assistant professor at the Department of Instrumentation and Measurement Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering (VIK), Budapest University of Technology (BME). He taught several subjects, such as: Logic Design of Electronic Digital Units, Digital System Design.
    In 1973, his extremely popular book, co-written with Mihály Tóth and considered a professional standard work, was published: Methods of Logical Design (Technical Publishing House).

    After BME, he worked at the Mechanical Measuring Instruments Factory (MMG) and then at Videoton.

    Since the 1980s, he has worked as a pioneer to develop the trade of computer networks and the network of computer technology dealers in our country.
    In 1984, at the suggestion and with the cooperation of Videoton and Walters Europe Ltd., he founded Walton Computers Kft., of which he also became the manager. The company initially pursued extremely diversified activities, and then in 1987 signed a distribution contract with the American global company Novell Inc., the then most popular network software developer, and thus became the first in Hungary to start traditional, two-tier computer wholesale in developed foreign markets. In the following years, distribution played an increasingly important role in the company's activities.

    Following the company's transformation and change of ownership in 1991 (Albacomp Rt., Compu-Shack GmbH.), he continued his activities as the managing director of Walton Networking Kft., which was now specifically focused on the wholesale distribution of network software and devices. The success story of the company he founded continued with the distribution of Microsoft and, from 1995, Cisco products.
    He managed Walton Networking Ltd. until his retirement.
