Hello

I'm Nikola Randjelovic

Technical Projec manager

Hello! I'm Nikola Randjelovic, Tech PM. I am here to make my life more interesting since I love and enjoy new challenges. My primary skills are PHP, HTML5/CSS3 and JavaScript. Currently, I am working as a Tech PM but, I have worked within NGOs and as a Web Developer with tourist agencies, start-up companies, and small businesses, etc. My passion is to make team more agile and to create a web application from innovative, functional, and creative designs.

Professional Skills

These technologies I use daily. There is much more that I use from time to time. I have a list of websites that I use for researching, investigation, learning, and information about new tech.
