I believe tech is better when shared, which is why I’ve spent years building and supporting the Microsoft community in Serbia.

  • 🎤 I speak at conferences and meetups—sometimes local, sometimes global—always with a focus on practical, real-world IT.
  • 🎪 I preside over Tarabica # IT Conference, Serbia’s biggest free tech event. It’s grassroots, community-powered, and packed with great sessions.
  • I’m the founder of AIPUG Serbia (AI and Productivity User Group Serbia), a brand-new community launching in November 2025 focused on applying AI and Copilot to dramatically boost efficiency for IT professionals and businesses. 🚀

If you’re into Microsoft tech and enjoy learning from peers, you’ll feel right at home.

  • Mastering Windows Server 2025 – Book Review 
    Windows Server has been the backbone of almost every enterprise network since I first entered the IT world back in 2003. I still remember diving into the world of Active Directory, DNS, and DHCP, and discovering Group Policy — a concept I liked instantly!  I started with Windows 2000 Server, and I’ve worked with every version since. And somehow, in the blink of an eye, 22 years have passed, and here we are — with Windows Server 2025.  All those core roles and features we learned back then are still here, but now much more powerful and refined. Windows Server … Read more
  • Farewell, Windows 10 — and thank you for the memories
    Today is October 14, 2025 — the official end of support for Windows 10, and I can’t help but look back. Exactly ten years ago, I had the privilege to be part of Microsoft Serbia’s W101010 pilot program, where ten of us from different professional backgrounds tested the Windows 10 Insider Preview for 10 days — both at work and at home — sharing our impressions under the hashtag #W101010. Here’s our group photo taken at the end of the program in the Microsoft Serbia office. A special moment — both for us and for Windows 10, which was about … Read more
  • Windows 11 25H2 – first impressions!
    Windows 11 25H2 – First Impressions Ever since I started using Windows, every new version has brought a special kind of joy to me. It all started with Windows 3.11, and since then, each release created that familiar curiosity – the feeling that I just have to try it as soon as possible. Decades later, nothing has changed. That excitement is still there. On September 30th, Windows 11 25H2 became available for download, and today I finally grabbed the ISO file. Of course, I couldn’t resist – I installed it on one of my business PCs, and while writing this … Read more
