Tadej Justin

I work at Medius, a Slovenian-based company specialised in custom software development, as Chief Data Scientist. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana in 2009. I enrolled into a master’s study course covering the fields of Automation and Intelligent systems. During my studies I was mainly interested in developing artificial intelligent systems based on machine learning and data mining. After completing MSc, I enrolled into a PhD program at the same University. My main research interest was strongly related to the field of pattern recognition, more specifically, I focused on speech related technologies, such as emotional recognition from speech, and emotional and cross-lingual parametric speech synthesis. You can find my work and publications on ResearchGate or Google Scholar. During my studies and research, I started and co-founded a micro company for consulting and development of web-based applications in Python, using solutions such as Plone CMS and frameworks like Pyramid or Flask. Thanks to my studies in Automation, I retained my fascination with the field of Continuous Deployment and Continuous Integrations, in other words, with DevOps. Since the start of the era of Kubernetes, I have followed its progress and at the end of 2019 I successfully obtained my certification as Kubernetes Administrator. The knowledge obtained from the DevOps field I constantly use in daily work at Medius, and it is helping me and my team deliver quality software enhanced with predictive functionalities seamlessly from its conception to production.
