ABOUT

I’m Nenad Jakovchevski, a curious and driven software engineer currently in Skopje, Macedonia, and soon heading to Padua, Italy, for my Master’s in Data Science at the University of Padua this Fall 2025. With a fresh perspective and a knack for tackling complex challenges, I thrive on innovation and collaboration—let’s connect to shape the future together!
