Engineering and technical challenges
Complex technical decisions, architecture, software quality, and accountability for results. A fresh perspective and support in finding solutions.
Working in IT has always been about more than technology.
Technical decisions, relationships, responsibility, career dilemmas – and, increasingly, the uncertainty brought by AI transformation.
Some challenges are hard to face alone, no matter how much experience and knowledge you have. Through one-on-one mentoring and consulting, I help you see your situation from different perspectives and find concrete ways forward.
AI transformation
What does it mean for you?
Artificial intelligence is changing how we work and what we expect of ourselves and others. Uncertainty, pressure, fear of losing your job, or the feeling that the knowledge and experience we have built over years are losing their value – all of these concerns deserve attention.
Whether you are reconsidering your professional future or leading people through change, we can explore what worries you, recognize the value of your knowledge and abilities, and find possibilities for moving forward.
You do not need to have all the answers. Or look for them alone.
What else can I help you with?
Leading people and teams
Delegation, motivation, employee development, communication, and conflict. Support in balancing people’s needs with organizational expectations.
Career and professional development
Recognizing your strengths, professional positioning, and career decisions. Help with networking and finding specialists in other fields.
About me
Ivan Šakić, dipl. ing.
I have more than 15 years of experience in software engineering, product development, and leading people, in startups and larger organizations. I know both the technical and the human challenges of our profession. I have also faced the uncertainties brought by AI transformation myself.
That is why I want to be the mentor I never had – someone who listens, offers an honest perspective, and helps others find their own way forward.
How we work together
We start with an introductory conversation, then agree on an approach together – from individual mentoring sessions and practical help to longer-term advisory support.
We adapt the format and pace of our work to you.
Let’s talk.
Get in touch for an introductory conversation – over coffee, a beer, or online.
