Who is Lazo?
I enjoy exploring various technology domains and thrive outside my comfort zone. Staying in the comfort zone too long makes me feel like I am falling behind modern trends, and that’s a race I can’t afford to lose.
Throughout my career, I have worked on projects for leading companies in the automotive and telecom industries. A significant part of my career involved developing banking solutions. I am especially proud of a product I designed from scratch, which was implemented in over 20 banks across several EU countries.
Privately, I am happily married and a proud father of two lovely daughters. I spend my free time with family and friends. You can often see me riding a bicycle or inline skating along the river Vardar.

This successful collaboration continues, and we are now involved in several additional projects with an expanded team. I also handled shorter projects for other clients, and our collaboration with them is ongoing. These repeated engagements reflect the quality of our work and our commitment to creating outstanding value for our customers.

These principles have helped me succeed and become a valuable member of the company.
