Maks Alič holds a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering (ACAD) from Ljubljana, Slovenia. He is excited to apply his knowledge to solve real‑world challenges.
My story
My passion for civil engineering started at a faculty open day, where I realized it's a lot like building with LEGO - just with bigger pieces and higher stakes for society. Today I focus on creating safe, sustainable, and innovative solutions.
