A bit about me

I'm a final-year student at the University of Applied Sciences Velika Gorica, focused on software engineering, databases and full-stack system architecture. I build and maintain web applications using modern technologies — and WordPress/Elementor solutions in a commercial, client-facing environment.

I actively develop my knowledge of CI/CD practices and full-stack architecture, with a particular interest in applying LLMs to everyday work.
