I build software
for companies that can’t afford
for it to break.

Co-founder of EXTRA, a Slovenian software studio. Twelve years shipping production systems across healthcare, defense, fintech, and Web3 — from autonomous medical robots to platforms processing eight figures in transactions.

Featured work

Four projects that best represent the depth and stakes of what I build.

01
Enterprise SaaS · AI / Full-Stack
2025–present

Blissbook

Employee handbook SaaS — Notion for HR compliance, with an AI policy chatbot, audit-grade data lineage, and enterprise auth.

Blissbook — Policy chatbot

Built a RAG-powered chatbot that lets employees ask plain-English questions about company policies — vector retrieval on OpenSearch, generation on AWS Bedrock, with LLM citation markers, in-section access control, end-to-end message encryption, and rate-limit handling on the retrieval layer. Also led Data Lineage: tracking every policy change across versions with diffing, multi-policy reports, custom presets, and exportable PDFs. On top of the AI work, the usual enterprise plumbing — SAML/Okta SSO, real-time collaborative editing on CKEditor, automated PDF pipelines on Bull, S3 asset management, SFTP data imports, per-org custom fonts, and compliance-grade audit trails. The un-glamorous parts that make a product actually deployable inside a Fortune 500.

Hyperice

Backend for HyperSmart, the connected recovery platform behind Hyperice's smart devices.

Hyperice — HyperSmart dashboard

Joined when the API was buckling under a growing user base. Redesigned the database layer and rewrote the critical paths in NestJS + PostgreSQL, cutting query times by 75% and API latency by 60%. Built integrations with Apple Health, Strava, Garmin, and Whoop — each with its own auth flow, data shape, and edge cases. Scaled to 25,000 concurrent users at 99.8% uptime. Touched every layer over four years: schema, CI/CD, on-call, incident response.

2022–2025

Naval Architect

Digital-twin platform used by ship designers and marine engineers in Germany.

Naval Architect — 3D vessel modeller

A three-year contract with an unusually broad stack — Angular front-end, NestJS and Django back-ends, C++ for performance-critical 3D calculations, Flutter for cross-platform tooling, all on PostgreSQL. Built modules for 3D modeling workflows, vessel data management, and synchronisation between multiple design tools. Ship design has zero tolerance for imprecision; the engineering workflows demand reliability over flash. Spent the engagement raising both performance and stability across the platform.

2024–2025

Apillon

Developer platform on Polkadot. GitHub-to-IPFS pipelines, NFT campaign tooling, RPC-as-a-Service.

Apillon — Apillon console

Most Web3 tooling is painful; Apillon's job is to abstract that away. Built GitHub-to-IPFS deployment so devs ship decentralised sites with a git push. Delivered Simplets — NFT campaign templates that non-technical users could configure and ship without code. Also built RPC-as-a-Service for blockchain node access, and pushed reliability across the storage, hosting, and identity modules.
