Maja Veselica
Maja has a strong mathematical and computer science background. She has worked on various complex database environments. Her areas of expertise include security, performance/SQL tuning and high availability/disaster recovery of the Oracle database. She has been working as an instructor for Oracle University since 2010. In the last several years, she has also been doing consultant work which relate to Oracle products. Together with Oracle ACE Zoran Pavlovic, she recently co-founded Evoxera - a company that provides consulting and training services for Oracle Database technologies.

Maja is member of the Organizing Committee for Serbian Oracle User Group (SrOUG). Her role is to review abstracts, plan agendas, source local and international speakers, promote SrOUG activities, and exchange ideas and experiences with members of other Oracle User Groups. She is a regular speaker at conferences and other Oracle-related events. Every year she aims to visit at least one country and event where she hasn’t been before.

Maja enjoys spending her spare time with friends and family. She likes to hike, swim, read a good book, solve challenging riddles, and organize and go on the next exciting trip.
