Tech Enthusiast Engineer Developer Builder of Things

Biography

I'm a backend/cloud engineer with a strong foundation in automation and over six years of professional experience in software engineering. I currently work at Awake, where I design and implement robust, scalable backend and cloud systems.

My journey into tech began with hands-on roles in automation, robotics, and IT, experiences that gave me a practical understanding of how technology integrates with real-world systems. After graduating from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana, I transitioned fully into software development, spending over five years at Asist System Automation, where I contributed to a wide range of industrial-oriented software solutions.

My academic background in control systems, programming, signal processing, and computer simulations enables me to approach complex challenges with analytical rigor and strong systems thinking.
