So how come marko calasan become a prodigy in IT world?? let’s see the background of Marko Calasan.
At the age of six, while most of us were refining our ABCs or trying not to color outside the lines, Marko had already received his first systems administrator credential from Microsoft. When you were nine, you probably spent your days thinking about how gross the opposite sex was, or wondering why anyone would ever need to know long division. Marko? He was busy working toward becoming Microsoft’s youngest Certified Systems Engineer, a title he achieved just last month.

“I must say that from the technological point of view, Marko is definitely a wonder child,” said Matej Potokar, the general manager of Microsoft Slovenia. Potokar said in an e-mail interview that he first heard about Marko two years ago and was eager to get the chance to meet the young prodigy.
“When we were informed that he is coming to Ljubljana (Slovenia’s capital) and would like to meet with people from Microsoft Slovenia I was looking forward to meet him,” Potokar said. For a half an hour, Marko made a presentation to Potokar and his team about Active Directory and its benefits and challenges.
“It is amazing how much time and energy he dedicated to study this complex and extensive material. On the other hand, I hope that…he still finds time for his second biggest love, which is football.”
Marko already has his first gig as a system administrator, remotely managing a network of computers for a nonprofit that works with people with disabilities.
Microsoft managers in Slovenia first caught word of the boy wonder from Macedonia two years ago, before finally meeting him during a presentation he gave to the company. He’s already gainfully employed, too, remotely managing a computer network for a non-profit organization that helps people with disabilities, and teaching computer basics to elementary school students. In his spare time, Marko keeps busy with his own project — an attempt to transmit high-def TV signals over relatively slow network infrastructures, an initiative that enticed a Macedonian telecom company to give the pre-teen direct access to their entire network.
Calasan has already received a pass from government officials that allows him to attend less school than other non-genius kids, so he has plenty of time to devote to his tech endeavors. He estimates that he spends about four hours a day in front of a computer, and sometimes a full 10. The one thing he doesn’t do? Video games. As he says, “There is nothing serious about playing games on computers. If you want to play, go outside and play with your friends.” Ouch, Marko. Ouch.
