02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODE

8+

YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

SARAJEVO, BA
WORKING ACROSS BORDERS

I like the problems
that take a little
figuring out.

From real-time betting platforms to international e-commerce, I’ve spent my career working where business rules, data, and system behavior meet.

I’m strongest in PHP, Symfony, Shopware, Java, and Spring Boot. But the part I enjoy most is understanding why something needs to exist, deciding how it should work, and taking responsibility for it in production.

Outside of code, you’ll often find me around a board game with friends. Brass: Birmingham, Arkham Horror, a complicated set of rules, and a plan that probably won’t survive the evening.
