Jan Švab

Co-founding a company meant to tackle IT problems in the energy business, my role is that of a general manager and CEO. Taking care of multiple aspects of the company from client contact, sales, administration, employee management, and software engineering.

At Quaternity I participated in several projects in Europe where I served as the tech lead. My primary role was to assist energy companies that were doing business in the EMEA region, digitalizing their existing processes, developing new functionalities for their market and trading systems, as well as providing support for existing ETRM solutions in place. I was also involved in internal product development where I was part of the team working on frontend design.

I was employed in the newly-formed Trading Department of Petrol d.d., Slovenia's largest utility company. The department started out with power trading and was later to handle gas trading as well. My tasks included the implementation of ETRM software, being in charge of an internal, specialized data scraping and analysis tool, which provided analysts and traders with critical market information, as well as several other tools meant to improve our market efficiency.

Due to my work ethic, I was awarded with more responsibility at the same department. My tasks grew to include server administration and higher level support. Among the servers that I had to supervise were now the AD administration, GP administration, Deployment servers, a variety of servers we used for providing wifi and e-lab acccess. In addition to those duties, I was also helping to manage the e-student database, which is the directory of all students for the University of Ljubljana.

Worked as level 1 support for IT issues for the University of Ljubljana, which also included faculties which had IT infrastructure with the main university. My duties included troubleshooting issues for end users, preparing meeting rooms, support during protocol meetings. Work was both remote and face to face.
