Available to hire
I’m a Slovenian software engineer with 8+ years of production experience building resilient backend systems, asynchronous job pipelines, and interactive full-stack applications. I enjoy turning complex technical ideas into stable, scalable solutions—whether that’s designing mission-critical microservices, building reliable ETL workflows, or delivering real-time data experiences for users and systems.
My background includes founding-stage work where I collaborated closely with founders, set up engineering standards from scratch, and emphasized deterministic automated testing. I also bring a strong physics foundation from my M.Sc. in Physics (LMU Munich), which helps me approach spatial modeling, data integrity, and system reliability with rigor. I’m fluent in English and German and particularly like projects involving data pipelines, PostgreSQL architectures, and modern AI-agent workflows.

Backend Developer (Contract) at National Transport Authority
July 1, 2024 - June 1, 2026Engineered Python ETL pipelines to ingest, cross-reference, denormalize, and validate heterogeneous external data files across complex transport networks with zero data loss. Developed a Django-based Fares Management Tool to process, version, validate, and audit complex public transport fare structures, rate matrices, and route mapping datasets. Built automated data processing workflows with strict schema validation for route mappings, fare calculations, and refund exclusions, maintaining relational data integrity in PostgreSQL. Architected configuration-driven processing engines for CRC checksum parsing, payload integrity verification, and discrepancy detection for ticketing stream reports.

Software Engineer | Founding Team Member (Full-time) at Forty2 Technologies GmbH
November 1, 2021 - March 1, 2024Collaborated directly with founders to evolve early hardware-in-the-loop prototypes into a production-ready intelligent control platform for industrial additive manufacturing. Led full-stack frontend development using React, JavaScript, and VTK.js to build an interactive 3D visualization dashboard (WebGL) with real-time state telemetry and visualization of complex meshes. Architected backend services and communication layers using Python (Django, DRF), REST APIs, WebSockets, and gRPC for real-time bi-directional telemetry and device control. Implemented asynchronous processing with Redis and Celery to handle continuous sensory streams and real-time computer vision defect detection under tight latency constraints. Established engineering standards including PostgreSQL relational modeling, Dockerized environments, CI/CD, and comprehensive Pytest suites.
