Janez was first exposed to free software in elementary school and has been passionate about it since. He has been involved with Drupal since his introduction while completing a computer science degree. Between 2010 and 2012 he led the transition to Drupal 7 at one of the biggest publishing companies in Slovenia. After that he joined Examiner.com which was the biggest Drupal website at the time. He started contributing to Drupal 8 early in the release cycle and due to his experience in the publishing industry became active in the media initiative and eventually became its lead. Janez is, besides free software and Drupal, passionate about challenging technical problems, complex computer systems, management processes, investing, and most sports that include putting some kind of a board below one's feet.
