Revealing the individual behind the expertise.

For most of my career, I’ve been a freelance web developer, working with a diverse range of clients, from startups and small businesses to large international organisations and banks.

I’ve also served as an on-demand web developer for numerous agencies worldwide. Some notable ones I’m proud to have collaborated with include Zweikraft, Degordian and 2am.tech.

My primary role often involves stepping in to address frontend development needs, whether for quick fixes or when a company lacks a specialised resource in my field.

In 2012, I established my boutique web development agency in Croatia. In 2016, I extended my entrepreneurial journey by co-founding another agency in the United States alongside my dear friend, Marko Prljić. Subsequently, in 2017, I relocated to Australia and seamlessly transplanted my business “Down Under”.

When it came to naming my web development company, I opted for a simple and straightforward choice, “Coder”. However, the downside of such a generic name became apparent when I pursued the domain name coder.com.au (now coder.au), which set me back $5,000.

With my background, I have acquired substantial experience not only in web development but also as a project manager who can tackle a wide array of responsibilities.

I’m an avid investor, a trait I share with Warren Buffett, even though we may differ significantly in terms of billions. I believe in investing in what I know and use daily, like Apple, American Express, and Tesla (big gainz!), but I also threw my hat into the GameStop frenzy (to the moon!) for that adrenaline rush.

Properties are another love of mine; I’m so attached to them that I own three. Two in the picturesque Milsons Point (the #1 most livable suburb in Sydney, for those not in the know), and then there’s my property in Croatia that I bought more than 15 years ago. I’ve kept it all these years as I strongly believe in holding onto investments for the long term. I’m a long-term holder. I’m a hodler.

I’m the dad of a tiny train-obsessed human who thinks sleep is overrated. My wife’s got Russian roots, and our love story is a globetrotting extravaganza. We met in Greece, experienced life together in Russia and the USA, got engaged in Singapore, had a tropical wedding in Four Seasons, Bora Bora (with a sequel in Sydney), and now, down under, we’re officially “Aussies”!

I’ve explored numerous countries, and notably, I’ve ventured through all 50 U.S. States.

I’m a big fan of the great outdoors, but in Australia, where wildlife abounds, I’ve chosen hiking over camping. I prefer to keep on the move, staying one step ahead of those tiny creatures, making sure they can’t catch me.

I’m a fan of adrenaline, which might explain my investment in GameStop. Additionally, there are a few noteworthy experiences, including a 3,000m (10,000ft) skydive, a 55m (180ft) bungee jump from a bridge, and a thrilling helicopter jump into the water with Navy Seals.

I’m a comedy enthusiast, particularly when it comes to stand-up comedians. I’ve had the pleasure of attending numerous live stand-up shows; if I’m not in the front row, you can bet I’m in the second.

Some of the notable comedians I’ve had the opportunity to see live include Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Jimmy Carr, Ronny Chieng, Jeff Ross, Rob Schneider, Jay Pharoah, Celeste Barber, and Trevor Noah.

Plus, I’ve got upcoming tickets for Ben Schwartz.
