Damjan is a very creative and passionate person. He created tools that helped not only his team but also other teams of the project. He increased the team’s performance not only by doing more than required, but also by doing things the right way. This made the developers life much easier and therefore he is a highly regarded colleague.
Furthermore, his communication and teaching skills are outstanding. When there were new hires Damjan was the person to go to because he can explain the most complicated things in an easy and understandable way. That increased the performance of new hires significantly.

Even during his studies, Damjan already showed great interest in software development and technology in general. That passion was obvious in his diploma work, where he designed and developed a Web Application for Creating Geographic Maps.
Due to his examplarary work and achievements, he was hired as a full-time member at the University of Maribor's Faculty for electrical engineering and computer science even before obtaining his bachelors degree, which is almost unheard of.
Damjan was assigned to the Laboratory for geometrical modelling and multimedia algorithms, where he worked, very successfully, as part of the GIS research team. He was responsible for the backend and frontend development of a highly critical application, used by the Slovenian Forest Service.
