Róbert Ďurec - IT Systems Architect and Editor-in-Chief of BlueNumbers
Róbert Ďurec (Robert Durec) is a Slovak IT architect, digital educator, and media strategist who combines deep technical expertise with a passion for clear communication. He is best known as the Editor-in-Chief of BlueNumbers.com and BlueNumbers.sk, where he simplifies complex topics like data analytics, automation, finance, and digital systems for a wide audience.
With over a decade of experience in data systems and media production, Róbert brings together two worlds that rarely meet: structured enterprise IT and accessible public communication.
🔧 IT & Data Systems Expertise
Róbert has worked across a wide range of technologies and roles—consultant, architect, analyst, trainer—with a consistent focus on efficiency, clarity, and long-term value. His work spans:
- Business intelligence and reporting with Power BI (Desktop, Service, API, Query)
