About

My name is Kruno Golubić.

Back in 1995, I built my first website. That pulled me into a world of the web, Unix, Linux, and open source software, and I’ve been exploring it ever since.

Since then I’ve worked in IT in pretty much every context you can imagine: small agencies, startups, a university computing centre, international SaaS companies. I’ve been a sysadmin, a webmaster, a helpdesk manager, a technical writer, a developer advocate, and a CTO. Sometimes several of those things at once.

The thread running through all of it is simple: I like understanding how things work, and I like explaining that to other people. Whether that’s writing documentation, delivering a workshop, authoring a book, or recording a tutorial, the goal is always the same. Make the complex approachable.

I hold a PhD in Information and Communication Sciences from the University of Zagreb. My research focused on how Croatian higher education institutions use social networks, which tells you I’ve been thinking about digital communication for a long time.

I’ve been writing about IT topics since the early 2000s, in both Croatian and English, across various platforms and publications. This blog is an archive of that work and everything I’ve written since, alongside new writing about things I’m currently learning and building.

I’ve spoken at different conferences and meetups over the years, including Write the Docs Prague, Write the Docs Atlantic, Write the Docs Kenya, Zagreb WordPress Meetup, and various Croatian scientific and professional conferences focused on education, digital infrastructure, and ICT.

If you want the full professional story, LinkedIn is probably your best bet. Here you’ll mostly find what I’ve written, what I’ve built, and what I’m thinking about.
