Dušan Jovanović

For the brave: DOO-shahn yoh-VAH-noh-vich.

I do computery stuff. I break things, mostly on purpose, and i fix things mostly by accident.

Over twenty years in IT across healthcare, telecom, tech and advertising, with a Bachelor's in Computer Software Engineering to prove I was paying attention some of the time. Today I'm a Solutions Architect for Exchange Online, Microsoft 365 and security: I draw boxes and arrows until the problem gives up. More of those boxes now say Copilot, Microsoft Foundry or Azure OpenAI.

Yes, I vibe code. I run language models on my own hardware and write up what works in the Scratchpad. Off screen I'm restoring a 1969 boat and developing my own film.

I learn with my hands, and I care more about the journey than the finished thing. Dead ends are part of it.

Career

2019 – now

Solutions Architect

Exchange Online, Microsoft 365 and security. I draw the diagrams everyone else has to live with, then help them live with it.

2018 – 2019

CTO

A big title with a to-do list to match.

2011 – 2018

System Administrator

Kept the servers up so creative people could change their minds at 11 p.m. before a deadline.

2006 – 2011

Business User Service Support

Second-level support for large business and government customers, where I learned that “urgent” is a feeling, not a priority level.

2005 – 2006

Network Technician

Pulled and spliced cable and fiber so people could watch TV and complain about the internet.
