About Davor Smajilovic

Malmö-based · Available for work in Copenhagen, Greater Copenhagen and Malmö

Born in 1982 in Bosnia, I came to Denmark with my family in 1992 as a refugee from the Balkan war. Football became my path early on — I was scouted by Silkeborg I.F. at 13 and signed my first professional youth contract at 15. Later I joined AGF Århus in the Danish Superliga, playing alongside Djordjic, Kure, Ceran and Duncan Rasmussen.

A severe ankle injury during preseason 2003 ended my career. After being declared football-invalid I rebuilt from zero — founding a courier company, co-founding a flooring business, and running the digital side: website, SEO, network, Google Ads. That tech curiosity from childhood became a career.

In 2013 I sold my share and enrolled at Technical Education Copenhagen to study IT Network & Infrastructure. Bachelor in hand, I moved fully into IT in 2016 — infrastructure, networking, support, cloud, hardware and software. Most recently I worked as Technology Specialist at Lenovo until July 2026. My current focus is IT support and operations: first- and second-line support, service desk work, enterprise VIP/SLA prioritization, ITIL incident/problem/change processes, documentation, cross-functional escalation, networking and general infrastructure. My Microsoft 365 exposure is practical user support and troubleshooting, with Intune and Entra ID as supported technologies. I am open to new roles in Copenhagen, Greater Copenhagen and Malmö.

I speak Danish and Serbian/Croatian natively, Swedish and English fluently — and I bring the same discipline from professional sport to every system I support.

Personal interests

Beyond IT

Music & creativity

A different kind of expression

Music is another creative side of me. I write and produce music, including Balkan ballads and English songs.

It gives me a different way to tell stories and put feelings into words and sound. Alongside my work in IT, music is a space for personal expression.
