Empowering Doctors with Digital Solutions
Levente, Domain Owner of Result Engine at Siemens Advanta Development
Levente is a man passionate about triathlons and long-distance running. At Siemens Advanta in Hungary, he is equally as agile when developing professional future tech for doctors using advanced software. Together with his three teams, he is contributing to combining diagnostic imaging, reading, and archiving solutions for a transformative medical imaging software program. In a global project, he collaborates with 40 scrum teams across 3 continents, 5 countries, and 8 locations. Together, they are creating a software program that has never been created with such complexity on the market.
I look at my progress at work as progress for the future of medicine.
A life-changing moment and a career switch
Born and raised in Budapest, Levente discovered his passion for serving humanity early on. After he finished a bilingual high school and graduated from the military academy with distinction, he started his career in the Hungarian Armed Forces. Yet from the beginning, he had always felt the call for software engineering.
A change came when a good friend of his recommended joining Siemens Advanta. He highlighted its high-quality equipment and positive working environment, but he was particularly impressed by the subsystem and manual tester at our Medical Department in Budapest. Thus, after seven years of military service, he switched career paths to help heal people through medicine.
Helping with the growth of medicine
Today, Levente and his teams are building software that offers advanced visualization of rapid and ‘invisible’ changes in the human body. Thanks to his teams’ outcomes, doctors can now use software to quickly record and assess rapid changes in the human body, compare results, and consult with other specialists with remote access. As a Domain Owner often brings insights and ideas for the holistic development of solutions – keeping patients, doctors and technology in mind. “Working for our clients has always filled me with pride due to what we are able to accomplish for the advancement of humanity and medicine,” says Levente.
Witnessing the impact of software
What he considers a transformational moment was his first visit to Universitäts Klinikum Erlangen (UKER). During his time in Erlangen, he met a passionate and professional client filled with inspiring ideas, who explained to Levente the benefits of his software to medicine.
Levente saw his teams’ work manifest in the daily treatment of people and that helped him to realize the far-reaching impact of his work. It additionally inspired Levente and one of his colleagues to create a project in the IGNITE program – a program for broad ideas supporting innovations across the technical and product landscape. Since software programs always need to evolve, he anticipates visiting hospitals to reconnect with doctors who utilize their software.
The question is what part of our investment makes the greatest impact. What will help in 5 –10 years, and what steps need to be taken today? We must find the right balance between now and the future. We dream big as a team; we want our software to evolve with the healthcare industry and spiritually. I look at my progress at work as progress for the future of medicine.
Enjoying the flow
Levente’s outlook for the future and his habit of measuring his results both stem from his passion for sports. “I’m not a professional triathlete; I measure my progress for myself. Development matters to me at work and in my personal life. I try to beat my record and the person I was yesterday while doing triathlons. It helps me to focus and meditate on my development,” he says.
Just like his professional journey, Levente has come a long way in his athletic journey, having started cycling after health issues in his 30s. Despite struggling to walk short distances at first, he was motivated by his future goals and started cycling to work twice a week. This eventually led him to become a 6-time Ironman.

Cycling helps Levente relax and build endurance for his daily work: "We like to say – enjoy the ride – at Siemens Advanta. It’s one of our core values, apart from delivering client success. I’m doing just that.”
