About

SigmaPi Design is a virtual company with one virtual employee and one real person.

My name is Sinisa Petric and Greek letters SigmaPi stands for my initials. Currently I'm full time employee of FINA agency Croatia and I work on digital imaging programs in my free time and mostly as a hobby (besides guitar and Aikido).

Here is my CV:

I was born on March 6, 1959 Split, Croatia.

I've graduated theoretical physics in 1983 (Zagreb University) on mathematical modeling of nuclear structures. I worked on UNIVAC machine using FORTRAN and PASCAL as languages for numerical computation.

Here is a list of my jobs:

  • "Faculty of Electrical Engineering", Split - Scientific assistant in Solar Energy Laboratory. Programs for solar energy simulation, simulations on nuclear power plants gas dispersion, theory of graphs, programming on IBM370 machine under MVS/TSO operating system.
  • "ZERC", city computer center, systems programmer on IBM370 mainframe machines under VM/CMS and VSE operating systems. Programming mostly in Assembler/370, FORTRAN, PASCAL and REXX language.
  • "Pomorska Banka", systems programmer, IBM370 machines, mostly assembler/370 and REXX programming, PC/DOS, Microsoft/C and CA/Clipper.
  • "ITEM" company, software servicing of mainframe computers, application programmer and data base designer on RISC/600 machines running under IBM/AIX op.sys. with ORACLE relational base.
  • "M-SOFTWARE" company, ORACLE forms, UNIX/C, CodeBase and CA/Clipper, SCO/UNIX, OS/2 op.sys.
  • "FINA" - financial agency, systems and application programmer, programming in CA/Clipper for PC/DOS using Netware SQL on Netware 4.11, Borland C++ Builder using DB/2 under Windows NT Server and MVS (IBM390) as a server side.
Still employed in "FINA" and working with Java/J2EE on IBM Z9 mainframe using "IBM Rational Software Architecture" as a development tool.
And yes, I'm not a fan of Java language...and it sucks...but...
