My current employment

I am currently looking for work in Ireland. I have finished my notice period at S&T and I'm ready for great opportunities that await in Ireland. For a CV with much more details on my experience, please contact me.
My other experience

S&T Hrvatska d.o.o.
Apr 2010 - Jul 2016
At S&T I was working as a web developer using C# flavoured ASP.NET, with a side-dish of JavaScript with JQuery on top and Microsoft SQL Server for 6 years.
I've been on this position since April 2010 until July 2016. During this time, I've worked on numerous projects where I've gained experience
int all aspects of ASP.NET programming, including Javascript, JQuery, AJAX, Web services (asmx and svc).
Personal experience
While I'm advanced in C# ASP.NET (primarily since it's been my job for 6 years), I did gain experience in other fields.
C++ - My biggest C++ experience is the falling blocks game I made for a college class. Apart from that, I've gained some knowledge and experience
in C++ from my college class (STL, some MFC), I've modified the
Amblone software
to better suit my needs and
I've played around with the
Irrlicht library
, although I haven't made an actual project using
it (just started getting acquainted with it).
Java - My biggest experience in Java was the Nonogram player/editor I made for a college class. Other then that project and the rest of the class,
I've used Java to build an application for my Android phone that lets me turn my
Amblone
(DIY ambilight) on, off
or to other various modes I programmed.
PHP - I started out playing with PHP, building very small scale stuff and setting up
phpbb
forums and I've started building this website using PHP, but before I could finish it, I started working with C# ASP.NET which made it hard to switch between the two (but I still wanted to use PHP).
I decided to try using a PHP framework in the hopes of bridging the huge gap between ASP.NET and PHP so I picked up
Code Igniter
and started with the application yet again. I ultimately decided it would be a lot better if I just used ASP.NET, but even though I scrapped both the pure PHP and PHP with framework versions, I gained
some experience in PHP. I've also setup a
Joomla
based website for
Toyota Club Croatia
and programmed modifications to both the website and the Toyota Croatia forum
Visual Basic.NET - Before I've started working in C#, I've already taken interest in the .NET framework, as a means of rapid application development. For this I've used VB.NET and
built some applications for myself and an app for my parents' business for writing invoices. It would be worthy to mention that, although my VB.NET experience wasn't all that long, the first real programming
I did was in QBasic, waaay back when I was still in elementary school.
Other - I've also tried out some other languages/technologies, but for the most part, it was just a brief encounter, a few tutorials or the like. A worthy mention, however, is
Multimedia builder
which is technically not a programming language, but it employs it's scripting language
along with a design mode akin to design mode for Windows forms applications in Visual Studio. In it, I've even entered and won a competition with my sudoku game.

My goal

My goal is to become the best programmer I can be, hopefully in game development. Ideally I would like to learn as much as I possibly can about programming video games and use that knowledge to work on
titles I would otherwise eagerly await to play. Therefore, I would say that if you're looking for a great programmer to sculpt into a great video game programmer and have the resources to do so,
contact me, and don't let the fact I currently live in Croatia stop you.
Why hire me?

While my current knowledge might not be ideal for the position you have open, I am a person who is primarily a programmer, and everything else comes second. For instance, I rarely play a game and don't
stop at some point to ponder how a certain aspect of the game was made. I even sometimes think like this in normal life. For instance, while driving to work, I ocasionally think about what I'm doing in my
car, how the car is responding, on what surface, in what conditions, etc. and think of how I would implement all of this if I were to make it into a game. I believe this shows how much I love
programming or rather, solving logical problems.
