About Me

Blaž Oražem

Blaž Oražem
Software Developer / Informatics Engineer

I'm a professional software / web / PHP developer from Ljubljana, Slovenia with a bachelor's degree in Informatics Engineering.

I primarily develop back-end on the LAMP / LEMP stack and mostly work on large scale business platforms.

I'm a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) within an IT company Spletna postaja, that has been in existence since 2003, where my creativity is daily challenged by interesting and innovative projects.

I'm also a lecturer - I was an independent contractor for one of the major IT training centers in Slovenia, called Housing Co. d.o.o., and I'm a public speaker - I gave talks at various PHP meetups in Slovenia and Croatia.

My hobbies are discovering new technologies and upgrading my developer skills, swimming, running, fitness, badminton, travelling, sailing the Adriatic Sea and playing bass guitar.

I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

Projects Delivered

PHP development & MySQL

PHP has been my passion since v5.2 and I am still learning new things every day. I'm also proficient with MySQL and DB architecture.

Laravel Framework

I started coding with Laravel back in 2015 and used it on my Bachelor thesis, when I created an open-source CMS called Numencode.

October CMS & Winter CMS

As for CMS, the last few years I have mostly used October CMS and its open-source fork Winter CMS, for which I'm developing some plugins.

My hobby Projects

Sometimes I tinker around with hobby projects and create websites as a way to showcase my portfolio. By building websites for friends and various non-profit organizations, I can experiment with HTML/CSS features and stay up-to-date with the latest web trends.

    It is up to you to review your new website and forward any additional changes to me.

  5. CMS

    I implement a Content management system on your webpage for easy content insertion.

  6. Content

    I show you how to work with CMS and we fill the page with your desired content.
