Bio
Dusan Mandic
During his four years as a mechatronics engineer at ATA, I had the pleasure of collaborating closely with Peter on 50+ projects. He consistently brought a positive attitude and self-initiative that was a pillar of the ATA teamwork culture, and made Peter a well-liked and respected member of the engineering team. Peter showed great interest in the multidisciplinary nature of the subject matter, by taking on initiatives across the mechanical, electrical, and software realms. He used his curiosity to grow his technical expertise, and deliver results with tangible positive impacts to customers. His persistency and problem solving mindset enabled him to excel at troubleshooting, and take valuable lessons learned back to the design table. Leading by example as one of the key faces of the technical team, Peter represented the engineering team professionally in front of customers, continuously receiving praise and positive feedback from them. Having Peter as part of the engineering team was a particularly rewarding experience, and he receives my highest recommendation.
