What I'm looking for

I'm open to B2B contract engagements where I can solve complex software problems and collaborate closely with project managers, DevOps, QA, and other engineers.

At Social Explorer, I lead engineering on the Vizualist product, building accessible data visualizations, LTI 1.3 integrations, survey features, and AI chatbot and MCP server capabilities.

I've delivered software across React, Node.js, Ruby, TypeScript, .NET, Angular, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS, Docker, and Azure. My work includes ordering and allocation systems for Rochester Electronics, shipping and label-generation integrations for Applicita, and features for Penze.

I also contributed to the University of Sarajevo's online student registration platform, upisi.unsa.ba.

My electrical engineering background adds practical depth in electronics, PCB review and testing, embedded controller testing, and embedded Linux. I'm open to B2B contract engagements and enjoy breaking down complex work alongside project managers, DevOps, QA, and engineering teams.
