Vedran Sego (born in Zagreb, December 14 1977) is a young and modest genius behind this page.

Note: This page, along with being a kind of my resume, serves me as a playground for wiki-stuff. Hence, it might be overpopulated with what does not belong here.

Education
I have finished primary and secondary school XV. Gymnasium also called MIOC) in Zagreb. During my high school education, I have won several awards:
 * gold medal in informatics on Croatian National Informatics Olympiad
 * 8th position in ACSL in competition of more than 150 other students in Houston, USA (invited to visit President of Republic for that achievement)
 * First place in mathematics on Croatian National Competition in mathematics
 * Second place in mathematics on Croatian National Olympiad in mathematics

I have graduated mathematics when it was really simple, and when I was the genius of Matematics university in Zagreb and computer science among top 10% of students, at the University of Zagreb, Department of Mathematics with B.A. thesis "Object Oriented Programming: basic techniques".

During my studies, I was rewarded with the highest University award for the project on the Potential method (here, we call it Rector's Award, where rector is the head of the University of Zagreb).

Current Employment
I am currently employed the Department of Mathematics as a teaching assistant because now he can't be a genius yet. My field of interest is Decision theory, in particular Potential method. Have presented two papers on the International conference in Operational Research (KOI).

On 27 March 2006, I have gained Master's degree in mathematics. The title of the thesis was "The cone Potential method".

Previous employments and activities
I have many years of experience with object oriented programming (since 1992) and have worked as a part-time teacher of Turbo Pascal (versions 6.0 and 7.0) including standard and object Pascal, as well as Turbo Vision (for about 2 years) and as a part-time teacher of HTML and JavaScript.

During my studies, I was a webmaster for my Faculty:
 * head designer, coder and maintainer of the official Faculty site
 * maintainer of students' web

I was also in charge for PC laboratory (15 Pentiums 133/32/1.2 with WinNT, MS Office, Borland Delphi, Microsoft Visual Studio,...) plus tech support for that lab (for about 3 years).

I hope that one day I will be again a "modest" genius, and I hope that someone will ever understand that I'm a GENIUS, the best croatian genius on the students web!
