Hrvoje Ricijaš

Full-stack developer

I started programming in Logo when I was eight, and I absolutely loved it. Then at 11 I started learning C, and to this day I am affraid of memory allocation. I owe most of my early programming knowledge to Mihaela Piskač, my elementary school informatics teacher and an all around amazing person, who endured with me all the way to winning the national championship. Later I passed that knowledge on to brilliant young programmers through ZRS. These days I enjoy tinkering with systems under load, API architecture, and database optimization. I also like making small cute web apps for my friends.

In my free time I enjoy cooperative board games, cooking, and hiking with my fiancée. Whenever I visit my parents, I also enjoy the company of multiple cats.
