Time to meet the QA Engineer at Valens, Ismar!

Why did you join Valens, and what has kept you here?

I joined Valens because at that time I only did freelancing and most of the time I have spent working by myself. I wanted to get more knowledge and meet new people, to expand my connections. Valens kept me a good atmosphere, positive and friendly people and they are always open for any kind of help.

Me at work

What's your favorite line from a movie?

With great power comes great responsibility. This is the line from the Spiderman movie, which inspired me how important is to help other people and be kind. I understand that doesn’t have to be a superhero to follow those words of geek wisdom.

It’s possible to do small actions that have a big impact on the world.

If you were to write a book about yourself, what would you name it?

The name of the book would be "Without fear". In this book, I would write about the journeys, adventures, achievements, and problems that I had during my life. Probably the book would be separated into three main chapters. The first would be living with fear and without it, the second would be the progress of self believing and the last one is about small goals that are leading to the big ones.

What is the first concert you attended?

The first concert that I attended was in the city "Zenica". The concert was held in the arena "Husejin Smajlović" and it played one of the greatest singers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dino Merlin. It passed more than ten years since that concert, but I still got that great feeling of a full arena and crowds were just singing and relaxing from their daily routines.

The atmosphere was amazing, something that I could't had a chance to see and feel earlier.

Enjoying some personal time

How do you spend your time outside of the office?

Outside the office, I prefer to spend my free time with my friends and colleagues. We are spending time going out and walking, sometimes we are watching movies. In my free time, I like to read books and learn new skills and kinds of stuff. I like to spend weekends in nature, near a river or lake with a grill, and listen to music.

If you were an animal what would you be?

If I were an animal I would like to be a bird. Something like an eagle or falcon, I would reach for the beautiful sky and soar as high as I could. I would fly into the clouds and snooze there for a while. Their natural freedom is to fly across the sky and touch rivers on the ground.

They are traveling a lot, in winter they are going to the south, but when summer arrives they are coming back north again, basically, life without borders!
