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. --- ## Context Intelligence System Every area I am responsible for lives here, in plain markdown I own. The data evolves, it is easy to edit, and I am kept informed, accountable, and responsible. The digital garden is the context bridge between every hill, lossless by design, and ideas move organically: ideate, contextualize, plan, prototype, log the wins and the losses, measure, then iterate or drop. ![[context-intelligence-map.png]] *The hills are live. Click one to walk into that part of the garden.* ## Current Explorations * [[Vibe Reader Product Diary|Vibe Reader Product Diary]]- Building a voice-first reading companion for physical books.
