    Languages


    I use English, a little bit worse in conversation. I use German successfully enough for professional literature, catalogs and manuals reading and for limited conversation. The both languages I write and read very well. I understand rather Slovenian, excellently Croatian and some Spanish, too.

    Working Knowledge And Skills


    I don't concern myself with the electronic only as an employee in company. I developed more circuits through special contracts or part-time jobs, and because the electronics is not only my profession but my style, whenever I'm free of duties I engage in it at home as an hobbyist.
    Mostly I've been with my units through all the steps, from working out of an idea, designing of electronic circuits, making a working model, helping by mechanical parts construction, prototype join and checking, corrections, checking of zero series, introduction to the serial production.
    I've worked on analog and digital circuits, but not with µP's:

    • measuring converters and instruments for AC and DC currents and voltages
    • temperature measurements

    • thermal, current and voltage protection circuits
    • DC high regulated lower current and low voltage circuits
    • the power networks harmonics amount measuring
    • thermostats
    • frequency counter, signal generator, pulse generator
    • USW FM stereo radio sets
    • USW FM radio sets for OIRT (the old Eastern Bloc frequency band) for hotels
    • Yagi antennas
    • digital watches, stop watches and alarm watches
    • radio and audio circuits 
    • etc

    Computer utilization (Windows platform):

    • Word
    • Excel
    • Protel (for diagram drawing and PCB construction)
    • AutoCAD (worse)
    • Front Page 
    • worse (have pretty forgotten!) Access, Corel, Tango 
    • etc

    Presences On Fairs And Exhibitions

    With the units I developed when I was working in "Koncar - elektronika i informatika", I participated several times at international fairs, on exhibition stands of "Koncar", as same as at several exhibitions of innovations and technical promotions:

    • Zagrebacki Velesajam (Zagreb Fair), Croatia
    • MIPRO in Opatija, Croatia
    • Sodobna elektronika in Ljubljana, Slovenia
    • INOVA - Zagreb, Croatia
    • RAST YU - Rijeka, Croatia
    • International Exhibition Of Inventions, Technical Novelties And Know-How-INWEX '88 - Brno, CSSR
    • exhibition in China

    In recognition of some projects I made, I received awards, plaques, diplomas and other.

    Entering into literary waters

    My first novel "Vode teku dalje" ("Waters continuing to flow") won the literary prize award "Albatros" for 2004. It has been published in November 2004 in "Albatros edition" (POU Velika Gorica, Croatia).
    In judging committee were Dragutin Bukovec, library editor, Bozidar Prosenjak, writer and reviewer and Maja Gjerek Lovrekovic, writer and reviewer.
    The prize award with the book presentation was held in Velika Gorica's community center at the seventh December, 2004.
