Pozdrav, trenutno sam student diplomskog studija Informacijske tehnologije u poslovnim sustavima, a završio sam i prijediplomski studij informatike. Tijekom studija stekao sam širok spektar znanja iz područja ICT-a, uključujući modeliranje podataka, izradu i upravljanje bazama podataka, te analizu i normalizaciju podataka. Kao praktikant radio sam na razvoju web aplikacije za bolnicu, gdje sam sudjelovao u svim fazama projekta – od analize, dizajna i implementacije do produkcije. Radio sam i na serverskom i klijentskom dijelu aplikacije koristeći Node.js i Vue.js. Za svoj završni rad razvijao sam AI model chatbota koristeći Rasa framework, što mi je omogućilo dubinsko istraživanje područja umjetne inteligencije, prikupljanje i obradu podataka, te implementaciju modela. Svi moji projekti dostupni su na mom GitHub profilu (link). Već dugo me zanima analiza podataka, i želja mi je profesionalno se razvijati kao junior data analyst / data scientist. Smatram se analitičnom i preciznom osobom koja kontinuirano želi učiti i usavršavati svoje vještine u IT sektoru
