Building Software That Lasts
I've spent my career in environments where mistakes are expensive, systems live for years, and clarity matters more than hype.
The Journey
From enterprise foundations to founder
Enterprise systems at scale
Started in large enterprise systems, working on production software before touching greenfield projects. This foundation shaped a pragmatic approach with respect for legacy, performance, and real users.
US healthcare, stepping into senior roles
Moved into regulated healthcare systems in the US, stepping up from writing code to owning features, mentoring developers, and leading frontend migrations.
UK EdTech, owning complex systems
Joined teams at moments of transition - legacy systems, rapid growth, missing structure - and helped stabilize, modernize, and move them forward.
Gaming, performance-critical systems
Built real-time gaming products where milliseconds matter, working closely with world-class professionals and delivering platforms tested at the highest level.
Company creation, product + client work
Founded Stomačko as an umbrella for both client work and product initiatives. A company created to house projects where software meets everyday life, health, and real-world constraints.
Premium, senior-led, focused
Operating as a small, senior-led company. Working directly with clients to build premium web applications, lead teams, and step in when projects need experience more than headcount.
How I Work
Principles that guide every project
Pragmatic Engineering
Respect for legacy, performance, and real users. Solutions grounded in what actually works, not what's trending.
Ownership Mindset
Leading teams, making architectural decisions meant to hold up years down the line. Accountability over process.
Clarity Over Hype
Building things that are reliable and understandable. Clear communication and technical judgment matter more than scale.
The Stomačko Story
In parallel with client work, I've always built products of my own. Some commercial, some experimental, some purely driven by purpose. That instinct eventually led to the founding of Stomačko.
Stomačko began as a food optimization platform focused on affordability and simplicity, but it also became a natural umbrella for projects where software meets everyday life, health, and real-world constraints.
Today, it operates as a small, senior-led company. I deliberately keep it small, collaborating with trusted partners when needed, because I believe accountability, clear communication, and technical judgment matter more than scale.
Software should earn its place by being reliable, understandable, and genuinely useful.
Outside of work, I'm a competitive chess player, which has quietly influenced how I think about systems, trade-offs, and long-term strategy. I care deeply about mentorship, product quality, and building technology that respects both users and the people maintaining it. The goal is always the same - leave systems better than I found them.
