About Ervin
I am from: Croatia

I study: Software Engineering & Business Informatics
Why this study programme? I chose this study programme because I have been passionate about computers and technology in general ever since I was little. On top of that, the IT sector is exponentially growing so the possibilities in future career paths are equally growing.
