// about
Crafting systems that handle money at scale
I'm a Senior Backend Developer with deep roots in fintech — I've spent years designing the infrastructure behind payment flows, transaction traceability, and financial data integrity. I care deeply about writing clean, maintainable code and taking full ownership of features from the first line to production stability.
Before going deep on backend, I led full-stack builds in Laravel + Vue.js, shipped freelance Unity/WebGL games, and earned a B.S. in Computer Science from FCSE Skopje. I believe the best engineers know the entire system.
