a.k.a. dzeka — the engineer they send in

Software engineer out of Užice, Serbia. At Tenderly I was the sole technical owner of roughly 80% of company ARR: I sat with tier-1 protocols — Aave, Chainlink, Uniswap, Polygon, Yearn, Morpho — worked out what they actually needed, and architected the proof-of-concepts that won them and kept them. Before that, Tier-2 infrastructure escalations alongside Core Engineering, which is where you find out what a system really does under someone else's load.

The pattern has been the same in every role: find the manual work, then build the thing that removes it. An OpenAI-powered internal assistant that took about 60% of the manual support load off the team. A cross-platform desktop app of AI triage agents — macOS, Windows and Linux — that diagnoses incoming customer issues and outlines the fix, cutting engineering triage time by roughly 40%.

By night, whole systems in the open: payments-grade distributed systems in Go and Rust, a Kubernetes operator, and 283 decisions written down as ADRs so far. Architecture to ops — most at home where correctness actually matters and somebody is waiting on the other end.
