Top SchoolMatko Zurak is a seasoned software leader and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience building and managing engineering teams across startups and product companies from Zagreb. As Managing Partner at Thoughtcap and former Engineering Manager at CoinLedger, he blends hands-on full‑stack engineering (.NET, microservices, Kubernetes) with OKR-driven team leadership to deliver reliable, customer-focused systems.
