Developed and supported critical broadcast technology for the US Presidential Election, delivering HTML graphics and automation solutions for BBC's international coverage.

"The US Election draws to a close, and I'm not only proud of my own team, but many of the other teams we've collaborated with on this particular event. Graphics and Automation were spread across Washington and London providing support and dev-ops throughout the results.[...] And it was the first election for us where every graphic was HTML (via our GSAAS solution), AND they were controlled from a blend of manual control and Mosart automation."

Living in Code

Computers have been my thing since I got my first one at age 9. What started as endless hours of tinkering evolved into a passion for building software. These days, I'm still that same tech enthusiast—just with much better tools.

When I'm not crafting React applications or exploring Laravel's mature ecosystem, you'll find me automating workflows and optimizing processes. I've never met a repetitive task I didn't want to automate away. I blame Factorio for this.

I can code for hours on end and still want more. Pretty sure I'll be the guy writing scripts in retirement just for fun. 💻

Speed Demon

Quick codebase ingestion and rapid integration into new teams. I hit the ground running, not walking.

Always Ahead

I believe in staying ahead of schedule because surprise deadlines love making surprise appearances.

Automation Enthusiast

Why do something manually twice when you can automate it once? I love creating efficient workflows.

I have had the pleasure of working with Marino Dražić on several projects, where he handled the front-end development while I focused on the server side. Marino is an exceptional young professional. His enthusiasm remains unwavering, even after 12-hour coding sessions. He consistently produces top-quality code and stays calm under pressure, always delivering on time. Marino is not only highly talented but also a lovely guy and a pleasure to work with.
