Work Experience
Research and Teaching Assistant
Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb
- Developed various tools for computer science courses such as student admission and enrolment application, a browser-based MySQL Shell, various proof-theoretic helpers and generators, and web-based homework and exam environments.
- Taught the following subjects: Database Systems (conceptual, logical and physical design, SQL), Programming 1 and 2, OOP, Computer Lab 1, 2, and 3 (C; C++), Native Android Development, and Computer Networks (low-level sockets, HTML, CSS, JavaScript).

Senior Full-stack Developer (Consultant)
Toptal Client
- Developed a full-stack interactive dashboard application interfacing with the existing data science model provided by the client.
- Designed and implemented a reactive user interface in Vue.js and Vuetify.js, including interactive data visualizations implementing the functionality requested by the client.
- Implemented a REST API back-end layer in the Django REST framework and an admin panel based on the Django admin site.
- Implemented a back-end daemon process wrapper around the data science model (the model itself was provided by the client) to improve scalability and ease interfacing with the API layer.
- Managed the infrastructure, including CI/CD, server and domain management, and email.
Senior Front-end Developer (Consultant)
Toptal Client
- Implemented an admin dashboard as a single-page application based on the designs provided in Figma.
- Implemented a basic landing page, also based on a client-provided Figma sketch.
- Advised on the back-end design, specifically around the REST API that the dashboard and other system components were to be connected to.
Co-founder and Full-stack Developer
Courier Data
