Hi, I'm Marton Szaplonczay

I'm a Poland-based Lead Architect & Automation Evangelist, currently orchestrating digital transformation at ABB Business Services while mentoring Solutions Architects and crafting next-level strategies for complex HR domain architectures.

My passion? Automating Everything — from enterprise processes to personal workflows, from traditional IT infrastructure to Web3 DeFi strategies. When I'm not architecting enterprise solutions, I'm building AI-powered trading bots and optimizing yield farming strategies. Father of three, TOGAF practitioner, and believer that every manual task is just an automation opportunity waiting to happen.

About me

Think of me as an "Automation Architect" with an enterprise mindset and a startup soul. I don't just design systems — I obsess over making them self-healing, self-optimizing, and ridiculously efficient. Whether it's guiding Solutions Architects through complex enterprise challenges or fine-tuning a DeFi yield optimization algorithm at 2 AM, I bring the same methodical precision and innovative thinking. My superpower? Taking manual, repetitive processes and turning them into elegant, automated workflows that scale from personal productivity hacks to enterprise-grade solutions. I speak fluent stakeholder at C-level and can debug Python scripts with equal enthusiasm.

Education

Master's Degree - Intellectual Property Law and New Technologies

Jagiellonian University, Poland2018 - 2020

Master Thesis: "Patenting AI related inventions - The European approach" (Pretty prophetic, considering my current AI obsession! 🤖). This WIPO-cooperated program dove deep into emerging tech patent law, digital copyright, and data protection — essentially giving me the legal framework to understand how to innovate responsibly in the automation space.

Bachelor's Degree - Technical Management (Energy Specialization)

University of Szeged, Hungary2011 - 2016

Thesis: "Input Shaft Manufacturing Plan, with CNC program for a selected operation" — My first love affair with automation! Enhanced by ERASMUS adventures at Uniwersytet Rolniczy (Poland, 2014-2015) and Philips College (Cyprus, 2012-2013), where I learned that the best solutions often come from cross-cultural collaboration and thinking outside the box.
