What I'm looking for

I seek a Senior/Staff engineering role designing core infrastructure, robust real-time systems, and distributed middleware. I value engineering culture, performance optimization, and the opportunity to solve complex architectural challenges in a cross-platform environment.

I am a Senior Systems Engineer with 10+ years of experience architecting mission-critical software. I specialize in Core Infrastructure: building the high-performance engines, networking middleware, and simulation tools that serve as the backbone for product teams.

My background is in heavy engineering—taking legacy systems and optimizing them for modern performance. Highlights include re-architecting a distributed simulation engine from O(N²) to O(N) batch processing and utilizing SIMD (AVX) and OpenGL to achieve 60 FPS visualization on constrained hardware.

Core Stack: C++ (17/20), Qt, Linux, CMake, Distributed Systems, Low-Level Networking (UDP/TCP).

I recently completed a rigorous engineering sabbatical to modernize my workflow to Cloud-Native C++20 patterns, establishing CI/CD pipelines and solving 1,000+ algorithmic problems.

What I'm Looking For: Senior/Staff roles in Robotics, HFT, Autonomous Systems, or Deep Tech. If your team solves hard problems involving concurrency, latency, or hardware integration, I speak your language.

Logistics: Relocating to Belgrade, Serbia. Available for global B2B/Contract engagement (via Deel, Remote.com, or Serbian entity). Open to relocation for the right Visa sponsorship.

Senior Systems Engineer & Platform Lead

JSC Avrora

Dec 2013 - May 2022 (8 years 5 months)

Architected a distributed 2D simulation engine (MVC) used by 10+ teams for tactical naval displays. Re-engineered the core loop to O(N) and utilized SIMD (AVX)/OpenGL to boost visualization from 7 to 60 FPS. Designed custom TCP/UDP middleware for real-time state replication. Built high-fidelity hardware mocks to decouple software testing from physical devices.
