Top SchoolRobert Saric is a seasoned software leader and founder with over 20 years in international ICT and 12 years of hands-on delivery experience, currently running Veruda Consulting and Veruda Sailing School from Pula, Croatia. He combines rigorous systems engineering and project management (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) with deep delivery expertise across Energy, Life Sciences, Telecoms and Financial Services to turn complex requirements into reliable software outcomes. Previously a Delivery Manager at EPAM and senior engineering lead at Siemens and Cenosco, he has led multi-team telemedicine and integrity-management platforms and driven migrations to modern CI/CD toolchains. An active contributor to open-source front-end projects, he improved usability and resource management in the popular OpenSeadragon image viewer by enhancing its reference strip and thumbnail handling.

He blends technical depth, mentorship, and entrepreneurial drive with a knack for translating high-risk, multi-stakeholder challenges into disciplined, teachable practices.
