Robert Sedovšek, being a dad
A typical walk through Ljubljana city center with Ada.

Software as poetry

A younger Self would Go on and Lisp all the SKILL & tech I've worked with with Ease, but after all that Oxygene breaths, when I CHILL with my daughter, whose name is Ada, not Julia or Jade, and we're both missing our Dog, and I miss my Mojo, I'd rather stick with Less and spare us the SmallTalk. I might not be Swift, yet throughout my life, I maintain my Hope of not being bit by a Python, to C sharp and not turning to Rust. SiMPLE as that, I'm staying grounded like Node.

The author's favourite colours are Ruby and Red and he enjoys Flavors of Pizza, yet despite his appreciation for new tech and all that jazz, no AI was used when writing this poem.


Formal education

I earned my PhD in 2016 at the
University of Ljubljana at the Faculty of Natural Science and Engineering.

🎓 Title of a doctoral thesis: Evaluation of user experience in mobile advertising.
🎓 Title of an undergraduate thesis: Software development for game based mobile learning supported by eMapps.
