About Me
As Co-Host of Ogrodje—Slovenia's premier tech podcast and community—I'm deeply invested in fostering our local technology scene and helping engineers grow their skills. There's something special about connecting with fellow technologists and sharing the lessons we've learned in the trenches.
Background
My work centers around helping organizations navigate complex technical challenges. Whether it's architecting resilient cloud systems on AWS and GCP, implementing rock-solid CI/CD pipelines, or designing disaster recovery strategies that actually work when you need them, I focus on building solutions that scale with your business.
I particularly enjoy the intersection of strategy and execution—taking broad technical visions and turning them into concrete, maintainable systems. From Kubernetes orchestration to ETL pipeline optimization, I believe the best technology solutions combine solid engineering principles with a deep understanding of business needs.
When I'm not consulting or podcasting, you'll find me mentoring development teams and contributing to the broader tech community. After all, the best systems are built by empowered teams who understand both the 'what' and the 'why' behind their work.
Ready to tackle your next technical challenge? Let's build something remarkable together. I'm a passionate software developer with over 8 years of experience building scalable web applications and distributed systems. I love exploring new technologies, writing clean code, and sharing knowledge with the developer community..
