Ivan Knezevic
He’s the behind-the-scenes guy and has recently joined the Online Optimisation team as a senior Developer, meet Ivan! Born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, he came to Australia a couple of years ago before finding his way to us. He now works extensively on some of our big projects, and really is the unsung hero working tirelessly on the programming side. Ivan was originally educated in the electrical and computer science fields before eventually embarking on his career in web development, having built several web development frameworks from scratch and working as an outsourcer for many years for European and US companies. In his spare time, Ivan loves to do anything artistic and creative like drawing, woodworking, music, crafting, mechanics and programming. Interestingly, he’s survived a couple of wars and understands at least 5 spoken and 6 programming languages! He’s an environmentalist at heart, and loves plants, animals, and microorganisms- so much so he’s our Chief Indoor Plant Officer at Online Optimisation. Ivan loves snow and ice but hates the cold!
