    Software developer at Ericsson Nikola Tesla and co-founder of Vectra XR.

    Studying for an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at JKU Linz.

    Zagreb and Linz

    I'm a software engineer. At Ericsson Nikola Tesla I write Java for the test framework that validates Ericsson's 4G and 5G radio network. I also co-founded Vectra XR, a 3D configurator for custom fitness racks and prefab homes, and I'm its CTO.

    I finished my bachelor's at TVZ in 2026. My thesis put three strong language models and one weak local model into the same economic games. Now I'm doing the MSc in Artificial Intelligence at JKU Linz.

    Asymmetric Society

    When language models of very different capability share a task, does the stronger one come out ahead?

    Three strong models, Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5-mini and Gemini 2.5 Flash, play repeated economic games with one weak model, Llama 3.2 3B, run locally.

    With no communication the strong models earn a capability premium. Add a public pledge before each move and the premium inverts: the strong models earn less.

    Vectra XR

    See it before you build it. A 3D configurator for things people buy before they are made: custom fitness racks and prefab homes.

    A buyer configures a rack in real time, changes its colours and attachments, and sees it at full scale in their own room through the phone camera, with no app. For a prefab home, each buyer gets a private 3D walkthrough of their own version, with finishes, layout and live pricing.
