About Me
I build full-stack applications with React, Angular, and Spring Boot, design CI/CD pipelines, and solve production problems. I'm a software engineer at Engineering Software Lab in Serbia. I'm finishing my degree at Metropolitan University, graduating in 2027.
What I do
Most of my days are spent building enterprise applications - React and Angular components, Spring Boot APIs, debugging production issues, code reviews. I've been at Engineering Software Lab since 2022.
The work involves microservices, event-driven systems with RabbitMQ, containerization with Docker, and various databases (MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, Redis). Beyond just writing code, I'm increasingly interested in the platform side — CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and keeping production systems healthy.
What I love about this work
I love fast prototyping. There's something satisfying about taking an idea and turning it into working code in a weekend. Small-to-medium projects are my sweet spot - big enough to be meaningful but small enough to iterate quickly. You learn way more building stuff than watching tutorials.
The learning process itself is what hooks me. Figuring out how things work under the hood, debugging, reading source code, seeing ideas come to life - this is where I thrive.
How I think about building
Building is the best way to learn. You can read papers and watch talks, but nothing compares to actually implementing something yourself, hitting the edge cases, solving real problems. That's why I focus on projects over theory.
What I'm learning right now
At work, I'm deepening my expertise in React, Next.js, Angular, and Spring Boot while exploring harder topics in DevOps and platform engineering. On the side, I'm diving into Kubernetes, Terraform, and infrastructure as code.
