I have extensive experience in software development. I have worked for a number of research and/or development companies/universities in the U.S. and Serbia (former Yugoslavia). I have developed various types of software ranging from low level assembly language software to high level applications on the Internet.

Most noteably, the Internet applications include the first Serbian Internet Payment Gateway for processing e-commerce transactions made with the national DinaCard card. The gateway was certified by the National Bank of Serbia (NBS). Prior to that, I have developed the first Yugoslav system for real-time processing of Internet payments (E-Bank) and the first e-commerce application in Yugoslavia (Mobtel). While the world waisted time on now virtually abandoned SET protocol for e-commerce transactions, I hhad a version of the protocol that is now known as 3-domain secure protocol.

I have also published a number of theoretical and technical papers at professional conferences as well as in professional journals and edited books. These papers cover areas like routing in computer networks, communication protocols, operational research, queueing theory, software development, and cellular networks. I am also holding a US patent on multi-dimensional resource scheduling.

I could not imagine myself working for a boss anymore. The good thing of being my own boss is that I can tell my boss anything I want. The bad thing is that I cannot fire off-the-wall out-of-control wild characters like myself.

As a blind person who has horrific experience with discrimination both in Serbia and the U.S., and because everybody deserves a chance, I am also doing some philanthropic work related to people with disabilities. I am serving as the Vice President of board of Foundation of National Paralympic Committee of Serbia whose goal is to insure sustained funding of Serbian athletes with disabilities. Also, I had pleasure to serve as an advisor during the redesign of web site of KBC Bezanijska Kosa Medical Center - one of the first Serbian web sites adjusted for the blind people. I do hope that one day people with dissabilities will not need hard heads like mine to go through concrete walls made by the cruel human society.

In order to survive everyday's stress, I love to steam-off while doing tough work-out in the gym.

UN Declaration on children's rights I have not seen my son for more than 11 years since his mother does not allow that. I cannot afford yet another self-destructive court battle and pay bloodsucking American lawyers to fight her in court. Here are a few excerpts from the UN Declarations on the rights of the child:

"Children shall not be separated from their parents, except by competent authorities for their well-being.". No competent authority separated me from my son. It was just madness of my son's mother who is willing to hurt her own son just to have it her way.

My visuall disability was raised as an issue despite:

Non-discrimination (art. 2): States parties must ensure that all children within their Jurisdiction enjoy their rights. No child should suffer discrimination. This applies to every child, "irrespective of the child's or his or her parent's or legal guardian's race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, DISABILITY, birth or other status".

The UN Declarations on the rights of the child was adopted by the United States of America on 16 Feb 1995, but shamelessly was not ratified yet.
