My story with Netcetera began in 2002 in Skopje. Back then Netcetera Macedonia was known as Panton. The day after my graduation, I was having a job interview with Alex, Krume and Jovan and a few days later I started as the ninth employee of Panton, the youngest and the only coding woman. My mother was so proud!

We were like a family. Work and leisure, coding and drinking – we did everything together. The colleagues from Switzerland were often coming to Skopje and those meetings were always fun, yet very professional. And I will never forget my first trip to Switzerland. On a sunny summer day in 2003 I landed in Zurich. Haggi met me at the airport and took me on a sightseeing tour, with the first stop at Zyp 71, the impressive Netcetera headquarter.

Over the years, the company was growing and developing and so was my career: from a junior programmer to technical project lead and a team leader. Between 2010 and 2015, I became mother of two sons and completed a Master in Computer Science. During that time, we started off with the first commercial products at Netcetera. I stopped coding and started leading product development teams. Exciting times with many success stories …
