Hey, I'm
Gašper.
A Computer Science engineer who stepped away from code to help bring safer, breakthrough medicines to the world. In my free time, I cycle continents and explore the secrets of why we're here.
I started my career writing code. From the start I knew I wouldn't be writing software forever, but I did know that I wanted to help people's lives using it. I studied Computer Science, spent time building and integrating software professionally, and only moved into a consulting role once that foundation felt solid.
Today I work at Metronik as a consultant, working with pharmaceutical manufacturers across Europe. The facilities I work with produce some of the most advanced drugs in the world, aseptic biologics, breakthrough therapies, medicines that reach patients who have no other options. I help them run those facilities smarter, so that what comes out the other end is safer, more reliable, and made exactly right.
At 25, before any of that settled into routine, I got on a bicycle in Slovenia and didn't stop pedalling until I reached Singapore. Sixteen thousand kilometres, roughly 440 days, mostly alone. I did it as an ordination of sorts, a test of what I was actually made of when there was no one around to help and no easy way back. I came back a different person, ready to tackle whatever comes next.
This site is where I write about what I'm thinking or studying. Pharma, history, psychology, astronomy, the things I can't stop returning to. Feel free to roam around, contact me if you want to share something. I'm always in search of curious minds.
Slovenia to Singapore on a bicycle. Sixteen thousand kilometres, mostly alone, through places that don't show up on travel itineraries. The kind of trip you do once and spend the rest of your life making sense of.
