Hi, I'm Aleksandar. I build systems that survive reality.

**By day,** I translate chaos into clarity. Catching the edge cases that break in the wild, turning them into requirements that build anti-fragile software. Douse fires with out-of-the-box solutions. Design worlds where the fires can't start.
**By night,** I read and I build. The only way to understand a new technology is to break it, rebuild it, and ship it. I hold the (mostly) correct opinion that yogurt is a cure-all.
This is my digital garden, a log of **0-to-1** experiments and technical bets.
