Béla Pázmány

From 1961 to 1963, he worked at the Hungarian Optical Works (MOM). It was here that he first encountered computer technology: he ran an optical beam routing program created by László Varga, later head of the department at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), on the M-3 machine.
Meanwhile, he enrolled in the evening class of ELTE and obtained a teaching degree in 1964.

Between 1963 and 1969, he was a software developer at the Computing Center of the Institute of Industrial Economics and Operations Management of the Ministry of Heavy Industry (NIM IGÜSZI). His first work was related to the basic software of the Elliott 803/B. He wrote the machine code program, which was inserted into the autocode, necessary for connecting the line printer. Later, he wrote several autocode program-error-finding software (such as a program suitable for detecting infinite cycles and showing the registers accessed in a row). His notable work was the preparation of a program for performing regression calculations from the data of the Tatabánya coal mining, developed for the dissertation of the later Minister of Industry, László Kapolyi.
He later led the development of the autocode compiler for the EMG 830 machine (which was a simulation program written for the Elliott machine).

Károly Csébfalvi, the head of NIM IGÜSZI, entrusted him with the care of young talents. He dealt with the interested young people who visited IGÜSZI “from the street” (such as high school student Péter Szeredi). In addition, he held regular classes for students at the ELTE Cukor Street practice school. He carefully introduced his young, mostly high school students, to the mysteries of computer programming. Many of them chose software development as their profession. He still keeps Péter Szeredi’s letter, in which he informed him in 1988: he had received a shared State Prize as the developer of the MProlog software.

Between 1970 and 1986, he was the deputy head of the Computer Engineering and Organization Center of the Hungarian Telecommunications Association (MHE SZSZK) – later Comporgan – and then its head from 1972. The Department's task was to meet the needs of telecommunications companies; they made various data processing systems, payroll systems, and programs to meet the ad hoc needs of labor and personnel departments to order. They also developed a general-purpose payroll program, which was used, among others, at Orion, later at Gamma Művek, the Weapons and Machines Factory (FÉG) and the Graboplast in Győr. They also worked for the Shipyard and the United Bulb, among others.
The department (which had a maximum staff of 67) consisted of two departments; one of them also had an R-10 computer center.

From 1987 to 1991, he was the head of the Computer Engineering Department of the Computer Engineering Office of the Computer Application Company (Számalk). He mainly dealt with data processing, on a contract basis.

From 1991 to 1994, he was the managing director of Soft-Technika Kft., a subsidiary of Műszertechnika Kft., which solved programming tasks for companies related to instrumentation.

Between 1994 and 1995, he was the IT director of the Expo'96 Program Office. They had to develop a system to serve the IT needs of the Budapest World Exhibition planned for 1996. They prepared a system plan, but by the time they had agreed on the programming with the developers, the government canceled the organization of the World Exhibition. – He retired from the Program Office.
