Briefly describe your most interesting project?
I remember the first project I designed almost all by myself (with examination and corrections from the elder colleagues). It was a geotechnical report for a family house in Umag. I have done DPL tests on the field, drew blueprints and wrote texts for the report. I remember this project for three reasons: it was the first in which I participated from the beginning to the end. The location is in Umag where I come from, and I learned many details that I did not previously know.

In the morning when I arrive at the office, I check if geotechnical research is going according to plan. After that, I prepare a plan of geotechnical research for a project, and arrange equipment and establish deadlines.
