Nebojša Horvat
Teaching Assistant, Faculty of Technical Sciences

Nebojša Horvat finished high school of electrical engineering in 2014 and, while in high school, he had taken part in many competitions and had attended extracurricular courses
like Robotics, Algorithms and Advanced Programming. In 2018, he finished his Bachelor studies and in 2019 the Master studies on Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad.

He has always been fascinated with electricity and electronics. However, while in college, he developed love for programming as well. For years, he has been developing his skills in parallel programming, web servers and informational systems in general. In 2017, by working on Internet of things (IoT) project, he discovered distributed systems and fell in love with their architectures. That led him to pursue an internship program in Vega It Sourcing company in 2017. After the internship, he worked for additional month in Vega It Sourcing in order to finish a distributed system which was responsible for employees’ time management.

In 2018, he became interested in Bitcoin, which led him to research blockchain technologies and further expand his knowledge of distributed systems. While attending his Master studies which were mostly based on High Performance Computing (HPC), he got acquainted with enterprise grade permissioned blockchain, which is still his main field of interest.

Currently, Nebojša is a PhD student and Teaching Assistant at Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad. The main fields of his research are data bases, distributed systems and blockchain technology with focus on permissioned blockchain. He plans to start working in the industry in order to gain more hands on experience in building blockchain systems. In that way, Nebojša hopes to get acquainted more with daily problems which blockchain developers encounter which could help him in directing his PhD thesis.
