At Very Big Things, Jurić will be responsible for defining company-wide Elixir standards and practices, consulting on architecture-related concerns, providing continuing education to the development team, and establishing the on-boarding process for new developers.
Stegner continued, "We've had our eye on Saša for a while, between reading his books and watching his talks, and now the time was right to bring him on board to accomplish our goal of creating the best digital products in the world."
Jurić graduated in 2002 from the University of Zagreb in Croatia with a focus on electrical engineering and computing. Since then, he has contributed to various projects including large-scale server systems (running on Linux), Windows desktop applications, and standalone kiosk devices. He has been involved in all parts of development including development of back-end systems, front-end logic, databases, server setup and administration, and application deployment.
