Software engineer, contractor, educator
Currently building tools for non-profits and working on Codyssey.dev.
The Story So Far
I'm Davor, a software engineer from Macedonia. I've been building for the web since 2015, working across healthcare, fintech, iGaming, entertainment, and non-profit — as an IC and as a team lead.
Outside client work, I'm building Codyssey.dev, an educational platform for engineers.
