Technology is a means, no goal
She is valued for her analytical and creative mindset, as well as an independent and user-focused way of working. Mirjan believes technology should always serve a clear purpose—not tech for tech’s sake, but solutions that work for real people and ambitious businesses.
Her advice and implementations are always firmly rooted in the challenges and goals of her clients.
She is known for her clear communication, pragmatism, and her ability to deliver effective automations, typically within just a few weeks.
When she’s not optimising workflows or building automations, Mirjan enjoys spending time with her family, experimenting in her garden, and going on outdoor adventures—whether it’s a mountain hut trek or a cycling holiday in Italy.
