Time to meet the Junior javascript front-end developer at Montecha, Nikola!

How do you spend your time outside of the office?

Outside of the office, when all the housekeeping-related tasks are done, I usually go for some longer walks with my dog and girlfriend and when the daylight is longer, I try to spend as much time as possible in nature. Also, I like working out - I'm training in Crossfit.

How has Montecha helped you in your career development?

Well, first of all, my first Javascript front-end developer job was here in Montecha. I started as a junior with some basic skills and some projects that I did for practice and to put them in a CV. In Montecha I upgraded my Javascript and React skills a lot as time flew by. I also learned to work in a team on a larger project, and how Scrum methodology is executed.

What's your favorite line from a movie?

"That that starts sweet ends bitter, and that which starts bitter ends sweet." - RocknRolla movie written by Guy Ritchie.

What do you find to be the most exciting aspect of Montecha?

The most exciting thing about Montecha is the fact that you are always learning something new and improving your skills, and not just ones related to software development. There are always some new projects, everything is dynamic. Also one of the things that I like the most is remote working where I can organise my time to be as productive as possible. Sometimes, my concentration might not be good enough in the morning, I get distracted, etc... so then I do something else, and in the evening I finish all the tasks with ease.

When the Computer is Off

Do you have an office nickname? What is it?

Yeah, my name is Nikola, but most people call me Johnny. It is common that in Serbia a guy who’s called Nikola has the nickname, Johnny. It is hard to explain how and why is that if you do not speak Serbian.

Do you have any hobbies, go-to weekend activities, or long-term passion projects you’re working on?

I enjoy going on trails and hiking with my girlfriend and dogs (we have 2 of them). I also like camping and I'm planning to take a trip from Serbia to France by car, but I’ll avoid highways and only sleep in a tent and make my own food.

Get to know Nikola and the rest of the Montecha team!

We’re delighted that Nikola decided to join Montecha – it’s been great having them on board! If you have any questions or want to get to know Nikola or one of their colleagues from the Front-end developer team, we can put you in touch. Don’t hesitate to reach out!
