What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and opportunities for growth.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over ten years of experience in the tech industry, primarily focused on backend development using .NET and DevOps practices. My recent endeavors have increasingly gravitated towards performance engineering, where I strive to enhance system efficiency and user experience. I take pride in my quality-output focus and my ability to collaborate effectively within teams.

Currently, I am part of the Core Engineering Team at 7Plus, where I develop and maintain a large-scale streaming platform that serves millions of users across Australia and New Zealand. My role involves conducting load tests, analyzing system bottlenecks, and implementing solutions that optimize performance. I enjoy working in a Scrum-based environment, collaborating with product owners and engineering managers to deliver impactful user stories.

My educational background includes a Master's degree in Applied Software Engineering from the Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad. I have a strong foundation in modern architecture design practices and have successfully transitioned monolithic applications to microservices. I am passionate about continuous learning and enjoy mentoring others in the field.
