What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role that fosters innovation and collaboration in software development.

I am a seasoned software developer with extensive experience in system software development, particularly in C. My career has been largely dedicated to the development of databases and innovative algorithms. I have contributed significantly to the MySQL series of products, focusing on feature development and bug fixing, which has helped MySQL become the most widely used database globally.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in numerous high-impact projects, including my role as a member of the NASA team that successfully landed the first Mars Rover in 2003. My expertise in client-server protocols and SQL features has allowed me to implement key enhancements that improved performance and reliability. I am also proud of my recent publication in ACM’s ‘Journal of Global Research in Computer Science’ on a new method of symbol resolution.

With a Bachelor of Sciences from the University of Belgrade, I have continually honed my skills in system software design, debugging, and algorithm development. My dedication to excellence has been recognized through multiple MySQL awards, including the prestigious “MySQL Rock Star 2025.” I am fluent in several languages, which enhances my ability to collaborate in diverse environments.
