Building resilient IT systems that keep organisations moving forward

Over 15 years designing, deploying, and managing enterprise IT infrastructure. I've scaled networks, hardened security, streamlined deployments, and mentored teams through complex digital transformations. Currently Head of ICT at the University of Novi Sad, where I oversee systems serving thousands of students and faculty across multiple campuses.

01 — About

Managing the technology that powers an entire faculty.

I oversee ICT strategy, infrastructure, security, and digital transformation across the Faculty of Economics in Subotica — a three-site environment with 500 workstations, over 200 internal staff, and 5,000+ students. My role covers everything from long-range technology planning to hands-on system deployment and troubleshooting.

My background spans systems administration, project management, virtualisation, private cloud, ERP integration, and the deployment of learning management platforms. I work across the full stack — infrastructure, server software, and web applications.

Alongside the day job, I'm running a personal challenge: one small web project shipped every day for 30 days. This page is Day 1.
