About

I’m Dario Ristić, a technology executive, entrepreneur, consultant, and product builder. I lead Platforma, a technology research and product company focused on AI-native systems, digital products, platforms, and intelligent hardware.

My career started with Linux and open source and evolved into building some of Serbia’s early hosting and cloud platforms. I co-founded SezamPro Hosting, Ehost, and CloudEx, one of the country’s early OpenStack cloud providers.

I’ve led cloud, innovation, product, and technology initiatives at SBB - United Group and Comtrade System Integration, and co-founded Cloud Native d.o.o., a cloud-native technology consultancy.

Today, through Platforma, I work with organizations on AI research, technology strategy, architecture, implementation, and product development - turning emerging technologies into production-ready digital and hardware products.

My focus is the convergence of AI, cloud-native infrastructure, intelligent hardware, automation, and open source.

I speak at conferences about AI-native architecture, cloud-native technologies, DevOps, open source, and the future of technology.

I turn emerging technology into products, platforms, and businesses that work in the real world.
