Welcome to the online portfolio of Beno Gorancic.
Feel free to browse around and read my blog for my most recent updates and projects.

Hello and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Beno Gorancic. In late 2009 I completed my Bachelor of Engineering (Software), Diploma in Engineering Practice and graduated early 2010 with Honours at the University of Technology, Sydney.

I currently hold the position of Software Engineer at a large financial organisation. I am currently involved in the implementation and maintenance of the Pricing Engine for Personal Insurance and Commercial Insurance. It is based on J2EE, Enterprise Java Beans and runs on a JBoss application server. I am currently also responsible for the migration to JBoss 5.0.1 EAP from JBoss 4.3 EAP.

Prior to this I worked and held the position of Software Developer/Tester for Cognethos. Cognethos is a software engineering and consultancy company specialising in financial markets services.

Before joining Cognethos I worked as the sole Software Developer and provided IT support to Foseco. I spent most of my time developing software for company internal use.

One of my latest creations is CrossCollaborate; a network based real-time diagramming application which I spent many months working on and completed late November 2009. It allows users to collaborate together regardless of their physical location. Think of it as a simplified version of Microsoft Visio with network support.

I have had a keen interest in software development for more than ten years, during which time I have had the opportunity to learn and use a number of tools such as Visual Basic.Net, C#, C/C++, Java, SQL, JavaScript, (X) HTML, CSS and PHP.

Currently I spend my time updating TPGbitometer and learning Cocoa in order to write some applications for the Apple iPhone.

Outside study and work, I like to socialise with people, play football (soccer) for a local club, work out at the gym when I find the time and develop software.
