What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a passionate software engineer with a strong foundation in data analytics and performance optimization. Currently, I work at Microsoft Development Center Serbia as part of the Azure Data Analytics team, where I contribute to the development of a distributed database system built on SQL Server. My recent project focused on enhancing query performance within Fabric Data Warehouse, achieving up to a 50% improvement in efficiency.

Prior to my role at Microsoft, I gained valuable experience at TomTom, where I developed SDK client libraries for navigation engines and worked on innovative projects that integrated real-time data with user applications. My journey in software engineering began with internships that allowed me to explore various technologies and frameworks, solidifying my skills in C++, Java, and Kotlin, among others.
