Employment
Experience
- text-hr - Morphological/Inflection/Lemmatization Engine for Croatian language (Development)https://pypi.python.org/pypi/text-hr/0.18
"text-hr" is a Morphological, Inflectional, and Lemmatization engine for Croatian language written in Python. It includes a Part-Of-Speech tagging engine (POS tagging) based on an inverse inflection algorithm for detection and a list of stop-words.
- text-sentence - text segmentation library (word, sentence) (Development)https://pypi.python.org/pypi/text-sentence
A text segmentation library featuring a tokenizer, sentence splitter, etc.
Input: text, list of known names and abbreviations. Output: list of tokens. Each token has a type as well as other attributes (i.e. is word, is number, is roman number, is sentence end, is abbreviation, is name, is contraction, is end of chapter, etc.). - permset - simple utility script to manage \*nix file and directory permissions (Development)https://pypi.python.org/pypi/permset/
Simple standalone utility script to manage \*nix permissions on file and directory trees based on patterns.
Common workflow:
1. Calculate permission patterns (permset), save them to root/.permset (permset --save).
2. Compare current permissions with saved patterns (permset), if any difference found, apply patterns (permset --set) or overwrite existing patterns with new ones (permset --save). - Mobile Interaction System (MIS) (Development)http://eu-informatika.hr/products/mis/
An integrated system for mobile marketing. Unifies messaging and campaigning functionality.
- System for running and monitoring long running processes (Development)http://eu-informatika.hr/products/lrp/
A solution we developed because we couldn't find an adequate existing solution.
- System for messaging and alerting (Development)http://www.eu-informatika.com/products/sma/
An application for centralized monitoring and alert-notification in IT Environment. I maintained and controlled all necessary aspects of notification delivery. The system is comparable to Sentry (https://www.getsentry.com/welcome/) but is simpler, less robust, and a few years older.
- Public web application for work time tracking (Development)
An application for work time tracking featuring free registration and a focus on usability and simplicity.
- Management application for remote configuring of smart house systems (Development)
A specialized application for monitoring, remote configuration, and upgrading of smart house systems. It was written in Python, Django, and partly in Adobe Flex.

- Creating ORM systems and contributing adapters for Python/* ->IBM DB2 (Other amazing things)https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/6995
Several ORMs that I have implemented, with the last two inspired by Django ORM. I created a DB2 SQLAlchemy adapter, Django adapter, and updated an OSS Python DB2 adapter to allow me to work with Python/Django/SQLAlchemy despite lack of support from IBM DB2. IBM later invited me to join a development team working to create official adapters for the three technologies.
