Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFilip Francetic is a pragmatic Desktop Support Technician with 11 years of IT experience, currently supporting end users at Behavioral Health Group from his base in Croatia. He combines hands-on troubleshooting of desktops, mobile devices and peripherals with the autonomy to diagnose and resolve complex issues across distributed environments. Early software engineering internships and open-source contributions to high-profile projects like Facebook's fbthrift and HHVM show he can navigate backend codebases—fixing dependency resolution, enhancing Python thrift tooling, and adding metadata/annotation support. That blend of user-facing support and backend development gives him uncommon visibility into both operational stability and code-level causes of recurring problems. Filip holds a Bachelor’s in Information Technology from RIT Croatia and brings a practical, test-minded approach to improving reliability and user experience.
