About me

Over twenty plus years I've been working as a tech journalist, editor and analyst, with special interests in telecommunication technologies, mobile devices, consumer electronics, software development and startups. I've published thousands of articles in many magazines and newspapers across Europe and United States, hosted regional TV show Tech Radar during last four seasons and delivered talks at large tech conferences around the world, including the biggest of all – CES in Las Vegas.

Currently, I serve as Executive Editor at Bug, the leading tech magazine in Croatia and as Mobile Devices Expert Group Manager at EISA, the most trustworthy association of tech magazines in the world, known for the famous EISA Awards which are being given to the world’s best consumer electronics products each year during IFA show in Berlin.

I’m founder of .debug, the biggest developers conference in Croatia and the Bug Future Show, the only tech show in Adriatic region, where I serve as a Program Director. I’m also founder of the Idea Knockout, the biggest startup competition in the Adriatic region, known for the unique prize for the winner – trip to Las Vegas for two team members and exhibiting booth at CES, world’s biggest and most important tech show and startup exhibition.

I attend the biggest global tech trade shows every year, like CES, Mobile World Congress and IFA, as well as numerous technology spectacles, premiers and conferences throughout Europe, Asia and United States. As a rule, I review the latest flagship smartphones, tablets, notebooks and other gadgets among the first few in Europe and at times, the world.
