Between 1986 and 1991, he worked as a technician at the Department of Chemical Technology at the Budapest University of Technology (BME). After that, he ran a translation agency and then worked for a company developing medical instruments.

Meanwhile, he obtained his engineering teacher's degree at the Kandó Kálmán Technical College (KKMF) in 1999 and remained at the university to teach computer science at the institute. Since then, he has been a consultant for numerous Scientific Student Circle (TDK) papers every year; in 2001, he was already a faculty-ranked student he consulted. He is a key lecturer at the Neumann János Faculty of Informatics (NIK) of the KKMF and its successor institutions (the Budapest Technical College, BMF, then the Óbuda University, ÓE); later, he was the dean of the NIK, and from 2019, he was the vice-rector of the ÓE.

He earned his PhD degree from the Zrínyi Miklós National Defense University (ZMNE) on the topic of efficient design and development of robotic aircraft. In this context, he created a completely domestic robotic aircraft system, which included the software of the ground control station, the airframe of the aircraft, the onboard redundant robotic system and its software. Five years after earning his degree, he habilitated at the Szent István University (SZE) in Győr on the topic of “Research and development of distributed control systems and applications of small robotic aircraft”. – He has also been teaching at the Selye János University since 2013.

His research interests include intelligent embedded systems, including the development of drones, drone technologies, and drone applications.

He has been the head of the Embedded Systems and Mobile Robots TDK workshop for a decade. In this TDK workshop, 8-10 theses are prepared annually, with him as the consultant, and then his former TDK students. Between 2007 and 2019, he was the consultant for 91 TDK theses. His students performed outstandingly in both institutional and National TDK (ITDK) competitions. 32 of his supervised theses earned awards at institutional TDK, and 5 of them won first place in the OTDK, and 2-2 won second and third place in the OTDK. Several of his students continued their studies at MSc and PhD after their successful OTDK participation; two of them are already leading several successful TDK/OTDK topics as employees of the ÓE in 2019. – His work goes beyond the management of TDK works; A new generation has grown up under his professional guidance, who carry out their educational and educational work along similar values and consult with TDK students.
