CERTIFICATIONS


The Beginings

Born 1990 in what then was Republic of Macedonia(todays North Macedonia). I was a nerdy kid that excelled at school and had an interest in martial arts, arcade games and drawing. My dad owned an arcade games shop so I was very lucky to be able to play almost indefinitely:)) with that much practice I could compete with kids 7 or 8 years older than me. I would ofcourse cry when I loose, but I would alwas come back later for a rematch.

I would spend summers with my gradparents and my brother at their summer house by the lake. Disconected from most of technology, one gets the chance to reconect to nature, invent games, build things from wood and stones and read books. Unfortunatelly this is so rare today and we have to make a real effort to "unplug".

In 5th grade, one day I decided to try and join a logical problem solving competion. I didn't do any real preparation so I was surprised to win a free summer vacation week in one of the more touristy cities in the country. I qualified in the top 15. That motivated me to persue more competitions in Maths and Physics and with a lot of work I did manage to win a few 2nd and 3rd places at national level in the following years.

Martial Arts - Lifelong Inspiration

I started practicing Judo when I was 10, and ever since have had a passion for Japanese martial arts. Decades later, I'm still actively practicing Aikido in Vanadis Aikidoklubb in Stockholm. In 2023 I earned my 2nd DAN black belt as recognised by the Tokyo Aikikai world headquorters.

Highschool and University

Encouraged by my experience with competitions, I was already aming for a career in science or technology. I enroled in technical highscool and was learning about automation, digital logic, electric curcuits etc. Apart from regular school, I was also active in school clubs. Each year I was elected as the class representative and was helping with some school projects.

I enroled to an university in another city that was international and english speaking. There I got my bachelors in Information Science and technology. During University studies I was also running my a small Aikido club for students and even organised a couple of charity workshop trough the local Red Cross.

Professional career

I got my first job in 2015 back in my hometown by a reference from a highschool teacher. I was creating templates for 2D game that can be played in web browsers. Initial with Adobe Flash and AS3, but as that quickly went out of use we switched to Phaser.js JavaScript based stack.

After about 2.5 years I wanted to move on from 2D games, and do someting more technically involved where I would work as a Backend Developer. A university colleague was working in a e-commerce agency using Magento. With her recomendation I got a role as a Fullstack Magento developer. I was working with a mix of front-end and backend tasks, even some work on servers and local environments.

Later I wanted to move to Sweden since I have some family in Gothenbur. I got a Backend Developer position at an e-commerece agency called Improove where I continued to work with Magento/Adobe commrece.

In 2020 I was approached by Vaimo, a reputable agency in the Adobe Commerce space. I was really excited to join Vaimo as it was a chance to work with top developers at a world scale. I got my Adobe certification and got to work with multiple teams and well established clients in the following 2.5 years.

What's next?

Althought the majority of my professional experience is with Magento, PHP and e-commerce I see myslef as a Fullstack developer. Daily tasks in e-commrece can be very varied. Having spent many years studiying technology I also see myself as an engineering. I love to build well engineerd solutions for sofisticated web sistems.

My next goal is to broaden and deepen my experience in the backend and fullstack role as well as grow into more lidership / coaching / methoring roles that work with developers and development teams.
