The way developers interact with code has fundamentally shifted. AI isn't a shortcut; it's a force multiplier - and ignoring it in 2026 is like ignoring the internet in 2005. I've fully integrated Claude (Anthropic's AI) into my workflow: from architectural decisions and code review to debugging and documentation. The result is faster delivery, fewer blind spots, and solutions that scale. Fifteen years of hard-won experience tells me what to build and why. Claude helps me get there faster and sharper than ever before. Experienced Full-Stack developer with over 15 years of professional expertise in the field. Born in a small Serbian town in 1993, I am a self-educated programmer who focuses on problem solving as well as building complex system oriented towards Web & Mobile platforms. My journey in programming began in primary school, where I mastered the basics and created my first website (very ugly, though). Subsequently, I immersed myself in the Linux environment, securing my initial position as a server administrator for a prominent hosting company in Belgrade. Concurrently, my freelancing career flourished, attracting clients worldwide with diverse requests. In my early twenties, I secured my first permanent position as a developer for a travel agency, steadily advancing to the role of lead developer overseeing a team of five individuals. This experience prompted the establishment of my sole proprietorship company, fostering a client base across Europe and the USA. In 2019, an opportunity arose for me to migrate to Sweden, where I embraced the local marketplace and work culture, gaining fresh perspectives and confronting new challenges. My transformative journey in Sweden has shaped me into an individual eager to advance, adapt, and contribute innovatively. Get in touch, and I will do the job for you.
