From introverted work with code, he suddenly found himself knocking on strangers' doors for up to 16 hours a day in 40-degree heat. <\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFrom an environment where I barely spoke to anyone, I moved into a world where I was knocking on strangers' doors for 14-16 hours a day. There I learned how business works, how to motivate myself, and most importantly \u2013 how crucial interaction with people is.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This transformative experience laid the foundation for the philosophy that defines TOMIA today: <\/span><b>technology is only useful when understood by the people who use it<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Microsoft and Ireland: A Path to Understanding Value<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After returning and completing his studies, \u013dubo\u0161 joined Microsoft, where he gained valuable experience in enterprise technologies. He later worked in Ireland on a project for an airline, implementing a CRM system for aircraft maintenance.  <\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn Ireland, I learned something fundamental \u2013 the cost, whether 10 thousand or 100 thousand euros, was not the issue.
