Davor Smajilovic

Born in former Yugoslavia (Bosnia) in 1982. When the Balkan war broke out in 1992, I moved with my parents and older sister to Denmark and settled in Silkeborg — where both my football and technology journey began.

Goalkeeper at Silkeborg KFUM at 13, scouted by Silkeborg IF, signed my first pro youth contract at 15. Called up to the Danish U-15 squad but couldn't play due to citizenship. At 17 moved to Aarhus and signed full-time with AGF in the Superliga — playing alongside Bojan Djordjic, Kasper Kure, Volkan Ceran, Morten Duncan Rasmussen, Leon Andresen and Steffen Rasmussen. An ankle injury in pre-season ended the career.

Started over in Copenhagen — first running a courier company (grown to 4 employees, closed during the financial crisis), then co-founding a flooring company where I ran the digital side: web, SEO, networking and AdWords. After selling my share, I enrolled at Technical Education Copenhagen and earned a bachelor's degree in IT Network & Infrastructure. Since then I have worked broadly across IT, infrastructure, networks, support, cloud, hardware and software.

Outside of my IT career, I have spent years actively investing in the stock market — reading, following markets daily and managing my own portfolio with a disciplined, long-term approach. I combine fundamental analysis with technical research and use macro trends to guide allocation. My portfolio is public on eToro, where I share my strategy and track record transparently.
