I am LERO9’s Technical Director and founder. I launched Magebase in April, 2010 as its editor and contributor.
I attended the Electrotechnical Faculty at The University of Belgrade where I graduated with a Masters in Computer Science and Information Technology.
I have worked exclusively in the field of web and software development throughout my career. I focus entirely on working with cutting edge open source web technologies and commit a good deal of my spare time to research and development in my areas of interest.
My main areas of interest are Magento and WordPress development. I started following the development of Magento when it was in beta and adopted it as my company's main eCommerce platform shortly after the stable version was released.
