About Me
Hi! I'm Milan - an enthusiastic, passionate, and dedicated software engineer with strong theoretical and practical knowledge and good communication skills. I'm a team player and quick learner with seven years of experience in enterprise-grade software applications development with exposure to all aspects of software development and deployment (front-end, back-end, DevOps). I'm most skilled at designing and developing web-based systems and applications based on various technologies and platforms, but I also have some experience in developing desktops and mobile applications. I'm a network geek, a serious Docker fan, and... crazy about motorcycling.
