## About

```text
At Bragg Ljubljana (formerly known as ORYX Gaming), I develop backend functionality and work on APIs with the Lead Backend Developer. I also support production deployments and provide technical guidance on backend queries.

I managed data sync processes across environments, improving speed until delays went from minutes to practically zero. I also optimized backup processes to use up to 80% less memory.

At Telemach Slovenija, I built internal tools including a customer search engine and management dashboard. After transitioning to backend work, I addressed TV commercial injection issues with RabbitMQ and Laravel and integrated legacy systems through SFTP/FTP polling.

At Nevron Company, I developed Set-Top Box interfaces with Vue.js and transitioned to maintaining PHP/Laravel backends. I also built administrator management tools and a mobile demo with NativeScript.
