Professional experience
06/1996 – 06/1998
During the high school, I worked as an apprentice in a company Systemcom where I got into details on topics such as hardware/software installations, networking, etc.
2000 – 2002
During the university, I got my first job as an educator in a private computing school - EduKon. Here I do courses for various computing topics, from basics such as working in MS Windows environment for begginers to advanced courses like Adobe Photoshop, PHP, etc.
I also write reference books for students, doing some marketing materials (posters) and some simple PHP applications for internal use of a company.
2002 – 06/2002
During the same university education I switched to a new workplace in another company, Info Gama, where I was a web developer for various types of public websited. Here are some of the projects I worked on: Nacional.hr news magazine portal, DiscoveryFilm.hr movie distributor, etc. (both of these websites are changed by another web studio since I worked on them years ago)
On this workplace I developed my own team work skills.
06/2002 – 05/2005
Next company I work for is Algoritam, the largest book and multimedia store in Croatia. I worked here as a web developer and my mission was to develop and maintain the whole webshop with CMS from the technical side of a project (MSSQL database design, web application programming in ASP, graphic design).
One thing I like to accent about this project is the fact that since I got out from that workplace the webshop is running without any problems and all they need to do is to use CMS I developed to maintain webshop content (products, orders, etc.), so this is a very good indicator how robust this application I developed is, so this is one of my favorite showcase in portfolio.
05/2005 – 05/2006
Then I switched to a system integrator company, Sedam IT, where I’m working on a custom developed document management applications based on MSSQL+ASP.NET technology. Applications were made for enterprise level customers like government, parliament, various ministry offices, etc.
05/2006 – 12/2007
More interested in document management business I made another transfer to a company dedicated to document management, Senso IS. Company is a partner with EMC2 which is a leader in document management systems worldwide. Here I work with Documentum platform, large content servers and a web based application (JSP) as a frontend to clients.
12/2007 – …
Currently I’m working for one of the largest system integrator company in Croatia, King ICT, as a document management consultant. Besides Documentum, here I got some new valuable experiences with input management system - Captiva InputAccel, also EMC2 platform.

- I’ve been using wide range of various applications, and it’s no problem for me to learn something new
- I try to constantly develop my knowledge of web development and new technologies
- I don’t limit my knowledge strictly with technical skills but I also try to make a wider look on things; for example, in web development I’m not doing just programming, I’m also doing a research on SEO techniques and also my favorite - web usability
I have a need for active job with ability to extend knowledge and career. I have experience working in a team, but also I’m capable of completing projects by myself. I’m familiar with working on big projects, writing documentation and communicating with clients is no issue for me, and I try to do my best on each project with maximum professionalism and quality.
My work is also a hobbie for me, and I think that is the best picture of my willingness for work!
