Professional career
My business side
For the past three years, I have served as interim deputy CEO and Head of IT at Hungary’s leading fintech company, where I played a leading role in the company’s organizational development, recruiting, project management, and product development processes. I was the architect and CTO of the first European SaaS fully digital mortgage platform with 4 bank integrations and I was responsible for the business strategy, legal compliance, bank negotiations and joint development processes.
As an independent consultant and interim fractional C-level staff, I help my clients build sustainable, automated workstreams, self-driving, stable, monitored business processes as well as planning and migration to zero maintenance IT systems.
Having a strong background in IT productivity, my focus is on creating efficient business processes and building sustainable, low-cost, automated, self-driving businesses.
In addition to my IT development and management qualifications and experience, I have completed two MBAs, startup training courses in acceleration, capital raising and efficient operations.

My IT side
At Bankmonitor I led the design, development and launch of the first European multitenant fully digital mortgage SaaS platform, while moonshotting the IT team's and company's development mindset, growing the teams, streamlining cooperation and hot-swapping the architecture and devops to highly efficient, secure cloud-native workflows.
Since 2012 I am working in multicultural, cross-functional, remote software development teams, acting in many leader (CIO, TLM, TL) and individual contributor roles.
At Google I was a Tech Lead in the Zürich Engineering Productivity team, where our focus was in organizational change management, DevOps, delivering automation frameworks, tooling and increasing developer velocity. On the technical level, I took part in the design, development, maintenance, migration and validation of multi-regional, highly scalable, low-latency mission-critical systems.
My IT career started when I started programming at 6. After high school I completed two parallel MSc programs and worked for 5 years as assistant lecturer to collect as much foundational training as I can. I also completed a Computer Science PhD program, doing research in Wireless Sensor Network topology and MAC protocol optimization.

Client Feedback
“Krisztián conducted a comprehensive and in-depth mapping of Bankmonitor's IT operations, development methodology and technological readiness in a Business IT Audit. The report provided a comprehensive overview of the IT team's areas for improvement and the tasks to be implemented, along which we will continue to work together.”
“We worked with Krisztián for 2.5 years. He was the first IT leader at Bankmonitor, who not only provided technical leadership, but also conducted strategic and organizational restructuring. Not only as a leader, but as a team player, sometimes as an architect or programmer when needed.”
“Krisztián's outstanding engineering and leadership skills have enabled him to be a very effective leader and to influence the work and increase productivity of large engineering teams.”
“In 2.5 months, Krisztián shed light on our deep IT shortcomings and the obstacles hindering our organizational operations. We offered him the position of CIO/CTO, which he was unfortunately unable to accept due to other commitments.”
