The Team
Ivana Vojinovic
Editor-in-chief
Ever since she played her first game of Super Mario back in the 90s, Ivana was hooked on tech. Years later, she started her career working for a company that sells EU GDPR documentation. This job has thought her the importance of proper data collection, storage, and handling. Soon she realized that dealing with customer information was something many companies found challenging and that many individuals are ignorant about the amount of data they leave online. This inspired here to launch DataProt – a website that educates people on internet privacy and gives cybersecurity advice. She firmly believes that with the right tools and knowledge, anyone can enjoy the benefits of the internet without endangering their privacy.
Ivan Stevanovic
Writer
Ivan’s character can be summed up in two traits – a pedantic stubbornness and an insatiable love for music. Naturally, he wouldn’t let the mere fact that his home country is geo-blocked from certain music streaming platforms interfere with his never-ending quest for new artists. The endeavour of researching the tools of hiding his identity also made him an online privacy enthusiast. His contribution to DataProt are his in-depth, meticulous, and critical reviews of cyber-security products.
Bojan Jovanovic
Writer
If there were a way to inject internet straight into one’s bloodstream, ones and zeros would course through Bojan’s veins. Bojan eats, lives, and breathes online both professionally as a cybersecurity reporter and privately as an avid gamer. Bojan learned the dangers of malicious online agents the hard way. He fell victim to a ransomware attack that corrupted years’ worth of research data. The jolting experience made him realize that even the most experienced individuals can fall prey to criminals, if they forgo the basic tenets of online safety. He joined the DataProt team to inform the uninformed and help them avoid the mistakes that cost him a whole lot of stress.
Damjan Jugovic Spajic
Writer
Data leaks, privacy intrusions, ransomware attacks – dangers such as these seem to be both increasingly frequent and subsequently larger in scale. This is the price we pay for living in a deeply interconnected and digitalized cyber-scape. Damjan, whose career started in anthropology, applies his background in humanities to analyze and dissect the Brave New Cyber World we live in. His main interests are cybersecurity, cryptocurrencies, and AI. Besides writing reviews, he spends time digging up dirt on Big Tech, advising people on safe Internet practices, and cleaning his tinfoil hat.
Nikolina Cveticanin
Writer
As someone who enjoys streaming music and binging her favourite TV shows on Netflix, Nikolina understands why it is so important to have a strong and secure connection. Nowadays it’s crucial to make sure your data is always protected while you get to explore the never-ending treasures of internet browsing. Beside helping people learn about online safety, Nikolina loves writing poetry, reading and hanging out with friends.
Dusan Vasic
Writer
Dusan is our resident tech, cybersecurity, and Warhammer 40k expert. Since space exploration wasn’t in the stars for him, Dusan began cruising cyberspace – and loved it. Still, he is pretty aware of the online world becoming a far more dangerous place than one might think, where knowing how to protect your data is a must. His engineering background and passion for all things tech are what drives him to help others safeguard their digital lives. When he is not poking around VPNs or anti-malware software, he likes to paint minis and send poor, innocent graphics cards into crypto mines.
