Gordana Pejic, 2010-2011 Director

Gordana Pejic received B.Sc in Electrical Engineering from University of Novi Sad, Serbia and M.S.S. in Software Systems from UBC. She works as an Embedded Electrical Engineer for Océ Display Graphics Systems where she enjoys using her hardware experience and knowledge in software systems to design embedded software for the large format, flat-bed printers. Before joining Océ Display Graphics Systems, she spent more than eight years working for fSONA Networks Corp, designing free space optical transceivers. Her fSONA experience included everything from cable to full product design. She enjoyed working in the manufacturing environment as that is where the final product is made and all the research and engineering are finally packed and shipped to the user.
Her first Canadian job was a manufacturing technician for Ballard Power Systems that she got just a few months after moving to Canada in February 1999. She is very grateful to her adopted country of Canada, adoptive city of Vancouver and Canadians who gave her opportunity to live and build her career here. Thus thinking of giving not as a duty but as a privilege, she volunteers for SCWIST as a ms infinity mentor, ski patrols on Grouse Mountain during the winter and occasionally helps out with Vancouver tango community events.
