Areas of expertise

Clarity across the technology landscape.

Architecture is most useful when it connects business intent, engineering choices, and the operational system that teams must own.

Enterprise ArchitectureTurn complex constraints into clear target states, decisions, and an executable path forward.

Architecture assessments, target-state design, decision records, modernization roadmaps, governance models, and stakeholder alignment.

Mihály Petrényi, Enterprise Solution Architect and Technology Consultant
Independent senior counsel

One accountable partner from direction to delivery.

I’m Mihály Petrényi. I work directly with technology leaders and engineering teams, bringing architecture-level perspective close enough to implementation to remain useful.

About my approach
Ways to engage

Senior guidance where the decisions carry weight.

Focused engagements shaped around the problem—not a fixed methodology or a stack selected in advance.

Operating approach

A practical route from ambiguity to action.

01

Understand

Establish context, constraints, risks, and the decisions that matter.

02

Design

Create a coherent target architecture with explicit trade-offs.

03

Validate

Test assumptions through review, prototypes, and operational scenarios.

04

Enable delivery

Translate decisions into guardrails and support teams through execution.

Building in public · Active project

FleetPilot

FleetPilot is an open-source, cloud-native fleet management platform for observability agents, built around the Open Agent Management Protocol.

A work in progress exploring how agent configuration, control, and telemetry can become safer and easier to operate at scale.
