Summary
Zalan Toth is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native microservices and data pipelines across banking, telecommunications, industrial and startup environments. He brings hands-on expertise in Spring, Kotlin and Java alongside practical AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka and ETL experience, and is actively expanding his toolkit with Go and Python. His background spans large organizations (Telekom, Nokia, Erste) and agile startup work (Eversync), where he learned rapid hypothesis testing, third-party integrations and maintaining code quality under fast change. Comfortable operating from design through CI/CD to production, he has also migrated monolithic workloads to EKS and built Kafka-based bridges between legacy and modern systems. Based in Hungary, he values collaborating on software he believes in and balances engineering focus with real-world creativity—playing RPGs, reading SF/F and staying fit.
