As a mentor at Thinkful, an online coding bootcamp, I supported students in mastering software engineering and web development concepts. My role included delivering personalized guidance to help students understand complex topics, complete projects and prepare for successful careers in tech.

I provided additional learning resources, clarified technical challenges and conducted assessments to evaluate student progress. My mentorship extended to career coaching, where I helped students build portfolios and refine their problem-solving skills.

During my time at Thinkful, I mentored over 200 students, achieving a high success rate in job placements. My approach emphasized fostering confidence, encouraging continuous learning and preparing students for the dynamic demands of the tech industry.

At Bloc, I served as a Ruby on Rails mentor, guiding students through their web development journeys in one of the premier online coding bootcamps.

My responsibilities included clarifying challenging concepts, helping students complete complex assignments and ensuring they built a strong foundation in Ruby on Rails.

I reviewed projects, provided constructive feedback and taught best practices for developing scalable, maintainable web applications. I also curated additional resources tailored to individual learning needs, helping students overcome obstacles and meet their career goals.

When Bloc was acquired by Thinkful in 2018, I transitioned to their team, continuing my mentorship role with an expanded focus on preparing students for real-world software engineering roles.

As the co-founder and technical manager of SoftSerbia, I have been instrumental in building one of the first outsourcing companies in Serbia, specializing in delivering tailored software solutions to global clients. My role has evolved over 20+ years, balancing strategic leadership with hands-on technical contributions.

I led the transition to modern frameworks like Ruby on Rails and PHP, enabling the team to deliver scalable, maintainable and high-performing applications. My focus on process improvement resulted in a increase in team efficiency, achieved by streamlining workflows and adopting cutting-edge tools.

A key part of my role involves mentoring a diverse team of developers, guiding them through technical challenges, fostering a collaborative culture and encouraging continuous learning. I designed and implemented robust development methodologies that ensure consistency, quality and innovation across all projects.

As a consultant, I’ve provided expertise in database optimization, API development and SaaS architecture for high-profile clients. Under my guidance, the team has successfully delivered projects ranging from enterprise-grade systems to niche web solutions.

Simultaneously with my teaching role, I worked as a freelance web programmer at AlefBrain. This position marked my transition into professional software development, where I was primarily engaged in creating dynamic web applications using PHP and MySQL.

I collaborated on several projects, focusing on database-driven applications and user interfaces. My work laid the foundation for my expertise in web development, which I later expanded upon in future roles.

My first professional role was as a research assistant at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Kragujevac, where I balanced teaching responsibilities with participation in cutting-edge research projects.

I taught several technical courses, including Nonlinear Systems of Automatic Control, Measuring Systems and Techniques and Electrotechnics with Electronics. My teaching focused on bridging theoretical knowledge with practical applications, fostering a deeper understanding among engineering students.

In research, I contributed to projects sponsored by the Serbian Ministry of Science, focusing on automotive systems, including active suspension systems and mechanical design improvements. My work re
