I'm Vedran Hudec, a senior full-stack developer with 20+ years of experience building production systems across fintech, SaaS, and web platforms. I own the entire stack—from database design and backend APIs to frontend UIs and deployment pipelines.\n\nI work independently, move fast, and use AI tooling daily to multiply output. I embrace new frameworks and technologies, and while no framework is untouched, Ruby on Rails is the exception for now.
