Summary

I'm a researcher and software engineer with over 10 years experience in design, implementation and evaluation of algorithms, prototypes, and production-level components for analysis and retrieval of multimedia information (images, videos, and text).
I also have hands-on experience in management of international projects, and am fluent in English, Japanese, and Croatian.
After 15 years of living, studying, and working abroad (in Europe and Japan), I'm well used to and familiar with international environments.
