Tomo Krajina

I’m a Java, Golang and Python developer with 15 years of experience. I worked on web and back-end applications, telecommunications, enterprise banking systems, video processing backends and mobile apps. I am especially interested in education, GPS and open source.

My professional carreer is mostly about backend Java/Golang and (more recently) Android projects.

I’m also a regular open source contributor (https://github.com/tkrajina), where I use Python, Golang, Java and Typescript.
