Aleksandar Savkovic

Google helped Alexander to understand that WordPress is the next big thing in his life. So he reconsidered his profession and from a construction site supervisor at the age of 34, he became a WordPress developer. He believes that a BIO should be seen as an ongoing process. Rather than a static snapshot, whereby we are perpetually re-framing, re-thinking and re-considering ourselves. At the moment Alexander is managing the Belgrade office of Enarti group of brands and coaching the development team to a better tasks execution. Thank you, Scrum 🙂

Petya Petkova

Позната още като Just 5, обичам да съчетава 5 качества в работата си – координация, динамика, качество, индивидуалност и изкуство. Като уеб дизайнер, развиващ дейността си от 2013 година, се старая да прилагам всяко от петте „правила“ във всеки проект. За целта и за стриктното изпълнение – използвам WordPress.

Към днешна дата развивам собствено студио за красиви мегабайти в уеб пространството, които да радват както мен, така и партньорите, с които работя.
