I build production LLM agents and RAG systems that deliver reliable, personalized customer experiences.
What I'm looking for
At mStart, part of Fortenova Group, I'm building a WhatsApp conversational AI agent for Konzum, Croatia's largest retail chain, designed to scale to 150,000+ users. I designed its multi-agent architecture, hybrid RAG pipeline, persistent personalization, safety controls, and GCP deployment.
I improve production reliability through debugging, observability, evaluations, CI/CD, caching, model routing, and latency optimization, reducing average response time from 10.5 seconds to 7 seconds. I also built a custom MCP server and internal web app for Agent Engine.
As founder and lead developer of Prepko, I built an online learning platform that grew to 800+ first-year FER students. I also won first place at the Neodata Hackathon for a computer vision road-network extraction system.
