Starting work on the HALEY project that deals with energy efficiency in cloud computing.
Working towards becoming a cloud guru.
About me
At the moment I am working as a research assistant and PhD student at the Vienna University of Technology, focusing on energy efficiency in cloud computing. I am also working as a professional associate at the Ruđer Bošković Institute, dealing with machine learning methods for forecasting financial crises. I graduated computer science at the Faculty of electrical engineering and computing, University of Zagreb. During my studies I participated in the Erasmus exchange programme two times - I studied at the University of Vienna during both of these semesters.
More information is available in my short CV or (if you find reading CVs really fun) in my full CV.
