About

Software Engineer based in Sarajevo with 4+ years building scalable backend systems and full-stack applications. I specialize in .NET microservices and cloud-native architectures — from modernizing legacy systems to shipping real-time multiplayer games.

Clean architecture, DDD, and TDD-first — modular monoliths, event-sourced microservices, high coverage from day one.
Backend depth across .NET 6/8 Web API, SignalR, WPF, SQL Server, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Jenkins CI/CD.
AI-augmented workflow — I orchestrate multi-agent builds and design reusable skill systems to ship faster without cutting corners.
