About me

An operations professional with experience across sales processes, procurement and business process automation. I do not wait for someone to tell me how to speed up a repetitive task. I find the solution, implement it and measure the result. A hands-on background in IT, electronics and electrical tinkering, combined with practical experience in RPA, VBA and AI tools, makes me the link between operations and technology.

Alongside operations and analytical roles, I am equally open to IT support work: preparing and configuring workstations, provisioning user accounts and access, and onboarding new employees into company systems. A technical foundation in electrical tinkering, IT and daily work with ERP systems on both sides of the support desk give me a solid starting point.

Key projects: RPA solutions and business process automation

Three projects where I identified the bottleneck, built the solution and measured the impact.

RPA automation of document matching

Problem:
manually matching delivery notes with outgoing invoices took 2 hours every day
Solution:
an automated RPA workflow

10 min of human work + 40 min on the server Over 80 % time saved

Digitalised absence requests

Problem:
a paper-based process for annual leave and sick leave requests
Solution:
a digital request system at PAT Centar

Paper → digital Paper process replaced by a digital system

Automated reporting tool (SAP + CSV + Pivot)

Problem:
a slow legacy system was holding back reporting
Solution:
SAP data combined with CSV files into dynamic pivot tables

Real-time reporting Reporting turnaround for the management board cut down

Outside of work

What I spend my own time on shapes how I approach work: long-term, systematic and attentive to detail.

Long-term index fund investing

I follow and study global index funds and the passive investing approach. What draws me to it is the discipline behind it: a long horizon, broad diversification, and decisions driven by data and costs rather than market noise. It is the same thinking I bring to business processes. Build the system, let it run, measure the outcome.

Vinyl and CDs

I collect records and CDs. It is a hobby that rewards patience and an eye for detail and a constant reminder that the quality of the end result is set by the weakest component in the chain. A useful habit when you are looking at a flow of goods, or a flow of data.

Hands-on with technology

I am continually testing new tools, hardware and software. Out of curiosity rather than obligation. Most of the automations I have introduced at work started exactly there: I try something myself first, then apply it where it genuinely saves time.

Contact

I am open to conversations about roles in procurement, operations and process automation, as well as IT support: workstation setup, access provisioning and employee onboarding into company systems. Reach me by email or through the form.
