Mitja Podreka is a pragmatic learning technologist and full-stack systems administrator with over a decade of experience building and scaling open-source academic platforms. Based in Ljubljana, he architected the University of Ljubljana’s centralized OJS instance (now hosting 37 journals and 21,000+ articles) and launched its OMP portal with 380 monographs, while also provisioning and evolving a Moodle deployment serving 4,000+ users and 800+ courses. He blends server-side Debian/Linux administration, scripting (Bash, basic PHP/Python), and localization work—maintaining the Slovenian language packs for OJS/OMP—to deliver reliable, user-focused services. Comfortable across Docker/LXC/Proxmox and web stacks (HTML/CSS, Drupal, WordPress, Nextcloud, Matomo), he pairs hands-on ops skills with training and support for faculty and researchers. A consistent FOSS advocate and sporadic coder, he excels at migrating legacy content into unified, sustainable publishing and learning infrastructures.
