Hi, I'm Marko Popović, a hardware-focused engineer and technical lead with a Master's degree in Electronic and Information Technologies from the University of Rijeka. I lead the electronics department in the R&D team, designing LED lighting systems, drivers, and control electronics from concept to production. I enjoy turning ideas into reliable hardware solutions, collaborating with mechanical and industrial design teams, and guiding cross-functional projects to successful launches. In addition to my day-to-day work, I mentor and teach kids through Pozitron Technology Center, run LEGO robotics workshops, and explore 3D modeling, Arduino projects, and software development. I'm passionate about applying hands-on electronics to maritime and logistics applications while growing teams and sharing knowledge.
