Sep 2010–Jun 2013
Bachelor (B.Sc.) of Business Informatics
South East European University
Ilindenska n.335, 1200 Tetovo (Macedonia)
www.seeu.edu.mk
My major included a combination of a strong and advanced basis of contemporary computer science
fields, but without leaving any gaps in the major fields of business. Thus this combination empowers
me to make decisions on both sides, meaning that I was given the ability to manage technical aspects
of a contemporary computer science field and also the major business consultancies and decisions
that are needed to be made. Given the limited resources that are in the Albanian language, the only
option for my major was in the English language, thus making me a proficient user.

Sep 2014 – December 2015
Software Engineer & Open Data Advocate
Open Data Kosovo, Prishtina (Kosovo)
www.opendatakosovo.org
Being active in the field of Open Data broadened my mindset, giving me access to different skills
which I picked up along the way. During the activities through which we are trying to raise awareness
of governmental and institutional transparency, I was focused on sharpening my organizational,
entrepreneurial and also engineering skills. Through time I have become able to distinguish what
better actions to take when working for an NGO and that has helped me make the right decisions on
my line of work.
Oct 2014 – Jun 2015
Technology Officer
"BONEVET" Makerspace
Str. "Vellezerit Frasheri" No Nr., 50000 Gjakova (Kosovo)
www.bonevet.org
BONEVET is the first makerspace in the region of the Balkans, I was fortunate to be part of the first
launching team this November. Being part of a project of this magnitude has given me focus and
precision on my skills which I have to utilize daily to maintain the facilities of BONEVET and also given
the nature of BONEVET as the first in its nature in the region, you need to be sharp on decisions given
that the support on many of the fields that you operate in are scarce. On a further note, BONEVET
has become a center for my growth, giving me a better understanding of what it means to enter a new
market in a region where once there was none.
Sep 2014 – Dec 2014
Software Engineer
Assemblio, Prishtina (Kosovo)
www.assemblio.com
During my time in Assemblio, I worked alongside a group of highly capable software engineers on
developing different kinds of platforms. Our development stack was always different given the nature
of our chosen field of work, meaning that we were project based and our development environment
was determined by our contractors. Assemblio gave me a clear idea of what it meant to work in the
front lines of a software development project.
