Profesorica fizike u Privatnoj školi Futura i doktorandica teorijske fizike elementarnih čestica na Fizičkom odsjeku Prirodoslovno - matematičkog fakulteta u Zagrebu. Njezini interesi u domeni su kvantne gravitacije, a primarni je razrješavanje kvantnih singulariteta. Najviše je ispunjava učiti nove stvari. U slobodno vrijeme šeta sa psom, igra sportove sa sinom u parku, a opušta se gledajući horore. Nepokolebljivo vjeruje u ljubav i da je restoran na kraju svemira, a da svemirom upravljaju miševi. :)

Jack Linke

Jack Linke

Jack Linke tends to learn the hard way - and shares the lessons from those experiences with others through blogging, tweets, and speaking engagements. He has been developing software and hardware projects off-and-on for most of his life, but much of his relevant web development experience has been hard-earned over the past four years during development of Watervize - a B2B2B SaaS web application (written in Django) to help irrigation water utility companies improve efficiency, analysis, and communication with staff and agriculture customers.

Jack’s technology interests include Python, the Django project, security, DevOps, HTMX, simulation, GIS, graph theory, data storytelling, and visualization. He is a frequent contributor to the open source community and a contributing member of the Python Software Foundation.

Outside of coding, Jack takes his Husky (Lady Duchess) on adventures, solves unusual math and logic problems, and makes a mess in the kitchen (and life).
