Building software that scales businesses forward
I partner with startups and enterprises to design and build custom software solutions — from system architecture to shipped product. Currently crafting tools for non-profits and building Codyssey.dev.
The Story So Far
I'm Davor, a software engineer from Macedonia. I've been building things for the web since June 2015 and never looked back. Over the past decade, I've worked across healthcare, fintech, iGaming, entertainment, and non-profit sectors — sometimes as an individual contributor, sometimes leading teams.
What drives me is the craft of building software that lasts — systems that are maintainable, scalable, and actually serve the people using them. I care about getting the foundations right so teams can move fast without cutting corners.
Outside of client work, I'm building Codyssey.dev — an educational platform for engineers who want to learn how to build real products, not just prototypes.
