As a Distinguished Developer Advocate at AWS, I leverage my 10+ years of experience in system administration, engineering, and DevOps to help customers and developers adopt and use AWS services and solutions. I am passionate about cloud computing, automation, and innovation, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge and insights through various channels, such as blogs, webinars, podcasts, and events.




My core competencies include AWS, cloud, Windows, Linux, virtualization, Windows Server Services, Active Directory, VMWare, Hyper-V, File Services, Backup Solutions, SCCM, PowerShell, Bash, Citrix XenApp, Xen Server, Solaris, Veritas Storage, Chef, Ansible, Jenkins, CI/CD, and DevOps. I hold multiple certifications from Microsoft and AWS, such as MCITP, MCSA, and AWS Solutions Architect - Associate. I am also fluent in English, Serbian, and (almost) Hungarian, and I have an EU citizenship. My mission is to empower developers and customers with the best tools and practices to build and run scalable, reliable, and secure applications on the cloud.

Oh yeah, I also collect old computers, software and technology!
