Zsolt Bilak

Cloud Specialist & Infrastructure Engineer

I'm an IT professional with over a decade of experience working across the full spectrum of infrastructure from on-premise data centres to multi-cloud deployments spanning Azure, AWS, and Terraform-managed environments.

Throughout my career I've developed deep expertise in cloud infrastructure design, deployment, and lifecycle management. I translate complex technical requirements into practical, secure, and cost-efficient solutions.

I'm currently working towards the Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification, continuing a long commitment to staying current with the evolving cloud landscape. Outside of work I attend conferences, contribute to infrastructure tooling, and experiment with emerging cloud-native technologies and different AI tools.

TerraPULSE Desktop App

A passion project born from a fusion of frustration and the desire to learn. I spent far too many hours buried in Terraform provider changelogs and registry pages during module upgrades, wishing I had a way to see exactly what changed clearly and without noise. That frustration became the spark for TerraPULSE.

At the same time, I wanted to learn Python, but the usual tutorials and example projects just were not keeping me interested. I needed a way to learn by building something that actually mattered to me. TerraPULSE gave me that.

This project is the result of both frustrations and ambitions. It lets me solve real problems while learning, and every time I open it to tackle a new provider upgrade, I am reminded why I built it in the first place.

Home Lab

In Progress forever

Home Lab

It has been a never-ending source of joy. What started as a small enterprise-style mock environment with my own Active Directory Domain Controller quickly evolved into something much bigger. I created a domain, connected Microsoft accounts, deployed Hybrid Azure AD, and gradually migrated services to the cloud while intentionally keeping storage local and integrating cloud-based backup.

From there, I began hosting services for my entire family, including Exchange Online and a single-page application. What began as a simple lab turned into a fully functioning ecosystem that I continuously refine and expand.
