Strahinja (Stan)

Senior Developer & Tech Enthusiast

Hi there! I'm a senior developer passionate about creating scalable solutions and building amazing digital experiences. I love turning complex problems into simple, beautiful solutions.

About Me

I'm a senior developer with a passion for creating robust, scalable solutions. My daily work involves project planning, server infrastructure implementation, and functional programming - all while maintaining clear communication with clients.

I believe in honesty in communication with a sprinkle of emotion. I'm good at explaining tech stuff to non-tech people and conveying passion for projects I'm working on. Being a persistent person, I don't refrain from working long hours to finish the toughest of tasks.

My gut feeling is that people are getting kind of stiff nowadays, so I try to add some humor and relaxation to everyday work. Usually, I let my work speak for me, but I'm open for a chat about pretty much everything.
