 With an organizational development career spanning two decades, starting with the creation of a low-income housing advocacy organization as an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis, he feels more a sense of delight and privilege than vocation alone can describe.
His experience has ranged from working with Fortune 100 companies to all volunteer groups, and the knowledge he has of how to make organizations more effectively is truly an ongoing partnership with each and every group he works with.
His organizational development approach is oriented towards the specific needs of the group in question, rather than a reflection of any one methodology. Some of his influences include Appreciative Inquiry, Synectics, Polarity Management, eMyth, Rational Unified Process (RUP), and Uniform Modeling Language (UML).
The one common thread is a belief in the inherent worth and wisdom of the partners in the process and finding ways to tease that information out.

Though he started out taking a different route in his studies, he remained faithful to his passion for computing. Soon after graduating as a Nuclear Fuel Engineer, he continued his education and took a second degree in Computer Sciences. In 1988, he made the transition and dedicated his time fully to being an IT specialist.
He began at a government-owned IT company as programmer, team leader, system analysts and system admin. After the end of the communist era, he was one of the first to establish a private IT business.
From 1993 to 2004, Denes worked as the head of the IT Department for the city council of Csikszereda (Major Transylvanian - Romanian). In 1996 he decided to teach various IT disciplines (networking, security, HTML/CSS authoring, Internet communications) at one of the oldest universities of his home country, the Babes-Bolyai University.
As IT department head he pioneered the use of CAD/CAM and GIS techniques for local government agencies in Romania.
He has been building web pages since 1995 and continues to author/co-author or contribute to many of today's open source projects. One major contribution was the 9-year editorship of the http://dmoz.org project.
From November 2004 he quit his job and began to freelance full time. Since then he has created over 50 websites (totaling over 10.000 individual pages) and worked on over 350 sites from around the globe.
As a natural born believer in the gift economy he discovered Mambo early on, back in the days when the project was the only interesting alternative in the open source community.
The switch to Joomla was a natural step because of the power and freedom it provides to people.
Another natural progression was joining the Left Brain team.

 Since
the childhood computers were for him much more, than simply
entertainment. Studying in usual high school, he began to understand,
that knowledge he received on computer science was insufficient and
consequently found out that in his city there was computer lyceum
"Professional". He left usual school for studying last two
school years in lyceum.
After
graduating from lyceum, there was a question on continuation of the
development and education in favorite field. After short searches for
the further study, he passed exams in Kharkov Polytechnical
University to Automated System Software department in Ukraine. Upon
graduation from the university in 2005 with the red diploma and
degree of the master, he left it with big set of knowledge and
skills. The aspiration to search for something new and to penetrate
into all details, whenever possible improving them, did not left him
and in the further work.
Graduating
from the university, he had already started to check the knowledge
when got a job in a civil engineering firm as a engineer-programmer.
Penetrating into all details of working process, he tried to improve
it to make more effective. After a while, work in a civil engineering
firm had ceased to be interesting to him, and has turned to usual
everyday operations with the same information. With time he started
thinking about new challenges.
The
meeting with his university friend Sergey has led him to Left Brain.
It was a new coil of his development.
