About Me

Senior Software Engineer and Software Architect with extensive experience designing and delivering high-availability distributed systems, Java/Kotlin microservices, and event-driven platforms. Currently serving as Cloud Automation Software Engineer at Swisscom AG and Java Practice Lead at Evoila, I specialize in creating enterprise-scale solutions that serve millions of users.

My expertise includes microservices architecture for platforms with 50+ services, secure API ecosystems (OAuth2, JWT, RBAC), high-concurrency transactional systems, and cloud-native deployments on Kubernetes. I have a proven track record leading engineering practices, defining platform standards, and delivering scalable production systems across healthcare, telecommunications, and enterprise domains.

Contributor to Apache Fortress (RBAC framework) and former Teaching Assistant at Faculty of IT, Mostar. I bring deep technical expertise combined with pragmatic leadership to help organizations build resilient, scalable systems.
