About me

I work across hardware and software: the board, the firmware on it, the interface someone uses, and the developer tools and AI agent tooling behind my own work. I am a co-founder of Paxia and have completed my bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the University of Ljubljana.

Currently: hardware and firmware at Paxia, alongside software and AI agent tooling.

    • Enclosures for Paxia instruments, plus a Python bridge that gives AI agents the Fusion API.
