Hi, I'm Aleksandar. I build systems that survive reality. ``` / \__ ( @\___ / O / (_____/ /_____/ U ``` By day, I'm an "Top Dog" escalations engineer at Datadog, which is a professional way of saying I solve complex problems and douse fires with out-of-the-box product enhancements, and sometimes consider a world where the fires can't exist. By night, I’m a reader and builder with a mandate for **making** - the only way to understand a new technology is to break it, rebuild it, and ship it ;and I hold the (mostly) correct opinion that yogurt is a cure-all. This is my digital garden - a log of my **0-to-1** experiments and technical bets. ## Current Explorations Here's what's on my mind right now. * [[The Product Diary|Vibe Reader Product Diary]] - An open-ended project log for a mobile reading companion I'm designing and building. * [[Product Explorations]] - Interacting with things people want to use and building things people actually want. * [[Books]] - The original motion and notion that brought the reading companion to life. * [[Miscellaneous]] - The digital junk drawer. > Find me on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alekzandar/) (if you're into the professional stuff).
