Director-Level Engineering Leadership
Forming and running the teams behind complex, high-stakes solutions — technical direction, hiring, and delivery at scale.
Senior IT Leader
I build complex solutions and the teams that run them.
Engineer at heart, 15+ years across Oracle, SAP, Barclays, Thales and Vivacom. I move ideas from code, to architecture, to the teams that ship and run them — most often at the intersection of AI, cloud, and product.

What people say about Aleks
Aleksandar is a highly experienced technical project manager with a strong breadth of IT and software delivery experience, and was instrumental in supporting me deliver the solution for the UK Passport Service. He's well versed in Agile and PRINCE2 methodologies and risk management, with strong stakeholder management skills. Aleks never stops learning, always looking to improve his skillset, and isn't afraid to take on new challenges.
Aleksandar took part in EIT Jumpstarter training week as one of the trainers for five Czech startups. The way he prepared and delivered such complex topics in a clear, interactive manner was amazing — all five teams left with sharper pitches and real, actionable feedback. Aleks is a great professional who takes his work seriously, and a genuinely interesting, generous person to work with.
A very clear and informative session, exactly as agreed on motivating members and conflict resolution — and, not least, flexible enough to have a quality presentation ready in a short amount of time (about a week).
I had the opportunity to collaborate with Aleks at various startup events across the Prague and international ecosystem — as a mentor during DEXIC Accelerator 2019 and as a jury member at the V4 Startup Campus Roadshow 2019 in Prague. As International Mentor Pool coordinator, I really appreciated his communication: Aleks is responsive, and gives startups valuable, technically grounded feedback. He's proactive, positive, and organized to work with.
Aleks was our Toastmasters club president and did a marvelous job. As one of the founding members, he put in a huge amount of effort to make the club bigger and better — ambitious, energetic, and always keeping a positive attitude no matter how challenging things got.
Aleks knows how to inspire, encourage, and motivate — indispensable qualities for a Toastmasters VP Education. He's an excellent speaker who leads by example through members' speech projects. It's a pleasure to be on the same team with him — his positive attitude and humor are contagious.
