< personal />

I was always into sports (martial arts, calisthenics, powerlifting, etc.) and (human) languages. I currently speak 5 languages (sorted from better to worse) those being:

Serbian, English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese.

< education />

I did my bachelor’s in electronics & computer science at the School of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade. My thesis was on using Android to control various uC submodules via Bluetooth.

Ever since I was a kid, I was constantly learning on my own (I think it was partially out of spite – being unhappy with official schooling).
