Project history
I design and optimize backend systems and infrastructure with a focus on performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
Professionally, I work across PHP, Node.js, Magento, and data pipelines — combining hands-on coding with DevOps practices to build reliable, efficient solutions.
More recently, I’ve been diving deeper into data science workflows and pipeline optimization to support smarter, data-driven platforms.

Software Architect, Senior Backend Developer, and DevOps Engineer as needed. My key project was Datalytica, with
additional work on MPT and FutureVault. On Datalytica, I was responsible for optimizing the platform’s data ingestion and transformation processes, as well as overseeing DevOps-related work.
My role was System and Software Architect on ongoing projects, while also fulfilling roles as a Senior Backend
Developer and DevOps Engineer, as needed. Key projects include contributions to prominent websites like
coolinarika.com, rtl.hr, and a1.hr, where I was responsible for both development and DevOps tasks, focusing on
infrastructure, optimization, and seamless integration between systems.
