Backend Developer · C# / .NET & Node.js · Frontend & Deployment

I build backend systems that stay up, then take them the rest of the way — frontend, Docker, CI/CD, and production monitoring — so the whole thing ships and keeps running.

About

I'm a backend-focused developer currently building iGaming platform services at Sportradar in Mostar, after three years shipping C# / .NET backend systems at CorNet. My core work is designing databases, APIs, and deployment pipelines that hold up in production — but I don't stop at the API boundary. Most of the projects below started as "just the backend" and ended with me also building the frontend and owning the deployment, because that's usually what actually gets a product live.

Outside of client and employer work, I run Codeist as a backend consultant, founded a short web-development course ("Web Element") to teach HTML/CSS and later C# .NET fundamentals, and still give private lessons to IT students who are stuck on a concept. I like AI-assisted tooling for the boring parts of the job — query tuning, test scaffolding, code review — so I can spend more time on the parts that need judgment.
