What I'm looking for

I’m particularly interested in controlling, budgeting, and performance monitoring, especially where finance intersects with financial infrastructure and technology.

At the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Agricultural Markets and Rural Development, I manage and control EU and national funds for agricultural and rural projects. I verify financial documentation and eligibility, helping ensure public funds are used properly and in compliance with procurement and state aid rules.

I also conduct financial and administrative checks and support control reports for national and EU supervisory bodies. My work contributes to preventing irregularities and maintaining sound financial management.

At Sklad kmetijskih zemljišč in gozdov Republike Slovenije, I managed real estate records and land transfer procedures for state-owned agricultural and forest land. I drafted transfer contracts and ensured transactions and record updates followed legal and procedural requirements.

My MSc work at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Economics focused on distributed ledger technology and its role in banking payments, clearing, and settlement systems. I’m interested in the intersection of finance, financial infrastructure, and technology, with a particular focus on budgeting, controlling, and performance monitoring.
