About

I care about building things that last — in code, in teams, and in life.

My Story

From Zagreb to Amsterdam

I'm a full-stack engineer and solution architect currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. My journey into tech began in Zagreb, Croatia, where I spent several years in the startup scene, focusing on a single mission: helping companies build resilient products, grow their technical foundations, and scale their teams effectively.

A Builder at Heart

My passion lies in building things that last. I've worked across the entire stack, from leading frontend development and shaping company-wide UI libraries to designing robust backend systems. I thrive on bridging the gap between product and engineering, ensuring that what we build not only works flawlessly but also makes perfect sense for the business and its users.

Current Focus

After relocating to the Netherlands, my focus has sharpened. I am dedicated to solving complex, real-world problems, deepening my technical expertise, and exploring what a sustainable and meaningful career in technology looks like.
