Biography

I'm a backend developer with a strong foundation in automation engineering and over five years of professional experience in software development. Currently, I work at Awake, where I help design and implement robust, scalable backend systems.

My journey into tech started with hands-on roles in automation, robotics, and IT support — 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, working for over five years at Asist System Automation, where I contributed to a variety of industrial and business-oriented software solutions.

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

I like work with new people. New people are new experiences.
