Engineering Manager / CTO / Systems Architect / Tech Lead
Belgrade, Serbia
Technology leader and systems architect with 18 years of experience across startups, enterprise, banking, and government environments.
I build and restructure complex systems at the intersection of engineering, business, and operations, taking ownership of architecture, delivery, stakeholder alignment, adoption, automation, and long-term technical direction.
My strongest pattern is turning fragmented workflows, weak tooling, and operational chaos into structured systems that teams can actually run, govern, and maintain.
I work best as a playing coach: hands-on enough to ship, senior enough to align product, architecture, and business goals.
I also work comfortably in AI-native and agentic development workflows, using VS Code, repository-specific instructions, architectural guardrails, and structured tasking to speed up implementation without losing technical discipline.
