about me.

Founder & CEO @ Cyphera · Software Engineer · ICT @ University of Prishtina.

Study platforms, learning management systems, and open-source tools that reach thousands of students. My approach is simple: take on challenging projects, learn whatever needs to be learned, and ship results.

I founded Cyphera in June 2025 to do that work properly: web platforms and internal products for small and medium businesses, from architectural scoping through to the final interactive polish. Three of those platforms are live in production today.

Alongside the company I study ICT at the University of Prishtina, with an Erasmus+ semester at Saxion in the Netherlands researching polarization in online discourse, and a published MIPRO paper on AI-based prediction of low-frequency magnetic field exposure. Cybersecurity is the other half of my training — six months of penetration testing, incident response, and forensics through the Girls in Cybersecurity program.

I also run Hack&Stack, a community of 130+ developers built around project collaboration and knowledge sharing.
