Skills

A versatile skill set built on expertise, adaptability, and continuous learning.

Hr
languageCroatian

CEFR level native

Born and raised in Croatia.

En
languageEnglish

CEFR level bilingual

I speak English almost like a native, except for my accent.

Fr
languageFrench

CEFR level C2

I spent 8 years surrounded with Frenchmen. I am very confident in my communication and comprehension skills.

It
languageItalian

CEFR level C1

My Italian is strong, but vocabulary in particular has taken a beating from exposure to French.

De
languageGerman

CEFR level B2

I spent 4 years in Germany, and I can speak and understand the language with ease, but not proficiency.

La
languageLatin

CEFR level B2

I can read well and pronounce correctly, but I don't have much experience speaking it.

scienceChemistry

I have a PhD in physical chemistry, specifically crystallography. I studied chemistry for 10 years and know it decently well.

scienceMolecular Biology

I studied molecular biology for 5 years. I know a lot about various biological fields, particularly those more related to cells and biochemistry.

scienceMathematics

I used university-level mathematics in my PhD, but I am by no means a trained mathematician.

sciencePhysics

I am strong in physical chemistry and mathematics, so in physics I figure things out quickly.

scienceStatistics

I like doing statistics and can do a bunch of simple analyses. I studied the subject to some depth, but I have only so much hands-on experience.

programmingTypeScript

I like this language a lot and I built a whole custom software with both frontend and backend in it.

programmingPython

Great language! I used to use it a lot more for all kinds of scientific projects, particularly those where I'm writing scripts for myself.

programmingHTML/CSS/JS

I know how to make websites. I'm good at tinkering and figuring out display and behavior bugs.

programmingAstro

I just started working on Astro: this website is built in it. It's nice to have an additional scripting layer to produce a static website. It is no substitute for content.

programmingRust

I used Rust in my PhD, mainly to have a stable basis for my programs.

programmingC

C is a classic. I used it in my thesis because it is fast (that was a goal) and it can talk to other programs (integration with other codebases in the lab).

programmingC++

I know C++ sufficiently, but I never worked a lot in it. I built a Qt component for an existing program (also PhD).

programmingC#

I worked on C# when I was younger, but I never got too much into desktop programming.

programmingZig

I like the idea. I am trying to learn it.

programmingR

I did some statistical analysis work in R. At some point I replaced it with Python because it's more familiar and sufficiently powerful.

programmingSQL

I am not fluent in SQL, but I am fluent in database design and in just about anything that translates normal language to SQL.

computingDebian

Great OS! I've been using it exclusively for the last 15 years and I never looked back. I don't know all the insides of it, but I am not affraid to tinker with system components.

computingLaTeX

Excellent! I've been using it for almost 20 years. I know how to do almost any kind of document with it.

computingWord/Writer

Classic. I know it above average.

computingExcel/Calc

I can do more than just enter data and make a nice-looking table.

computingPowerpoint/Impress

It's a good software for standard presentations.

computingObsidian

I am starting to get acquainted with this software. I think it's interesting for note-taking and presentations.

computingGit

I try to use version control a lot. Git is extremely complex and I'm always in awe in front of it.

computingGitHub

Good platform. I also use Gitea. I've become somewhat proficient with it: validation, CI/CD, container publishing and so on.

computingDocker

One of the best single pieces of software. I use it to deploy things with simplicity.

computingServers

I built my own server with Debian.

computing(Computational) Chemistry Software

ChemDraw, ChemBio3D, VMD, DeepView, PyMol, AutoDock Tools, AutoDock Vina, Schrödinger Maestro, OpenBabel, Gaussian 09, Crystal 14

computingCrystallography Software

Bruker APEX3, CrysAlis Pro, CCDC Mercury, CCDC ConQuest, Crystal Explorer, MoPro, Olex2. I even worked on some code for the last one, but I don't know if it ended up in there.

computingBioinformatics

I have some knowledge, but I never used it seriously. I developed some algorithms in a bioinformatics context, but it has been a while.

generalDriver's licence

Driver's licence, B category.

generalHiking

I enjoy hiking. Just look at the trips site.

generalCamping

I like camping/bivouacking and sleeping outdoors in the wild.

generalPilgrimages

I like to visit churches and holy sites. Bonus points when I do it on foot.
