I'm

• Able to lead multiple projects simultaneously with regular check-ins, progress updates, and support for underperforming team members. Experienced in managing teams of varying sizes, with strong proficiency in problem-solving, task redefinition, resource adaptation, and collaborating closely with clients.
• Establishing strong communication and trust with clients is the cornerstone of every successful project. I achieve this through regular meetings to keep clients informed of project progress, address challenges, and propose effective solutions.
• In projects without predefined task schedules, I develop comprehensive project plans that include task breakdowns and resource allocation. I use MS Project for task tracking and monitoring, and have recently incorporated online tools like ClickUp for enhanced project management.
• I am solution-oriented, constantly seeking software or methodologies that solve problems efficiently and accurately. A notable example is a project requiring the extraction of the highest point for 100,000 buildings from a dataset of 2 billion points. Using standard GIS tools would have been too time-consuming, so I leveraged PostgreSQL, reducing the task duration by 20 days.
• While monitoring task progress, I am adept at making critical decisions to ensure timely project completion. For instance, during a project in Macedonia, I strategically decided to replace the Indian team with a new local team for seven days, just one month into the project. This adjustment enabled us to successfully meet our project deadline.
• I am action-oriented, as demonstrated in a project for the City of Sarajevo. After the initial delivery received negative feedback from the client, I proactively engaged as a spatial database expert. I scheduled a meeting to clarify any ambiguous aspects of the technical specifications.
• Delivering on time and ensuring high-quality results are paramount objectives in any project.

This initiative was carried out in the Municipality of Rakovica. Through several meetings with employees in the Urban Planning Department, I defined the workflow processes that guided the customization of ArcGIS. In addition to coding, I systematized and centralized spatial data that had previously been utilized in various locations, projections, and software applications. The enhancements we achieved through the revised methodology and customization led to a significant increase in efficiency: we improved from processing two to three cases per day to completing a single case in a maximum of 20 minutes.

• 2002 EcoTrack is decision support rail application developed on TUDelft (TUDelft, Delft, Netherlend)

Additionally, it provides essential information for first-grade students. The CD also features orthophoto maps and VR panoramas. Its purpose is to serve both students and the University management, particularly for promotional and advertisement purposes. This project was carried out in collaboration with the CIBID Publishing Center of the Medical University. In addition to defining deadlines, pricing, and content with representatives from CIBIT, my role included the comprehensive design of the entire content. The second version of this presentation remains active, as the Faculty of Medicine continues to utilize it. My responsibilities encompassed:

  • Content Design: Crafting engaging and educational materials tailored to the needs of the faculty and its students.
  • Coding: Writing code in Macromedia Flash's ActionScript, which facilitated interactive elements within the presentation.
