SilkStart welcomes Filip Elazar!

September 12, 2011 Leave a Comment

SilkStart is very excited that Filip Elazar joined us on Tuesday as our newest Software Developer.

Filip Elazar’s first passion is software development. He obtained a Master’s Degree in Mathematics from the University of Belgrade and joins the team after a semester studying Computer Programming in Seoul, South Korea. Always interested in different cultures and perspectives, he began his professional career in Brussels, Belgium, as a web programmer. To join SilkStart, he travelled 9000 kilometres from his homeland of Serbia, ironically not the farthest distance travelled to work for Silkstart.

Filip is excited to take advantage of Vancouver’s world class skiing! His other interests include carousing across the world, playing guitar, and scuba-diving. He is excited to be in Canada and experience all that Vancouver has to offer.
