Summary
Zoran Kolega is a full stack developer and MS candidate in Computer Science at UCF with five years of engineering experience building data-driven systems and ML-enabled pipelines. He has designed and implemented production ETL pipelines, data-mining algorithms, and a Python library used for DARPA-scale corporate data analysis, uncovering significantly more relationships and merger events than proprietary datasets. At UCF's Institute for Simulation & Training he engineered multimodal research software—integrating OpenPose, OpenCV, and Whisper—to automate participant tracking, transcription, and encrypted biomarker ETL from AWS S3 into analysis-ready formats. Comfortable across C++, Python, databases, and cloud workflows, he combines hands-on systems work with strong data analytics instincts. Based in Orlando, he’s now applying that blend of research-grade tooling and production engineering to full stack roles focused on machine learning and analytics.
