I'll show you what I have done,
you decide if I can help you

Affix Space is a software development studio that I founded in 2024 after retiring The Codefather.

A lot of things have changed since then, and I have learned a lot. But the core values and principles remain the same.

Development is changing too, AI is shaping our day to day work and I am excited to be able to kickstart this journey helping an AI first startup scale up.

The motto, credo, and mantra of my professional work has always been "deliver". If we can have some fun along the way, even better.

Chaptr is an AI startup in the publishing space. I help them architect and build innovative AI solutions while scaling their development team and infrastructure.

Beyond engineering, I contribute to shaping their culture and values as they grow. Working with a team that builds new POCs and prototypes in parallel to their core products keeps the work dynamic and rewarding.

The role involves hands-on work with cutting-edge AI platforms, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Veo, Grok, ElevenLabs and more. Evaluating and integrating the right model for each use case is both a technical challenge and a continuous learning opportunity.

A brief but compelling project at the intersection of VR and construction. I served as the primary technical lead on Leviat's side, overseeing the development and delivery of an innovative VR proof-of-concept built by Unity, right as the company was being acquired by Capgemini.

The engagement provided a valuable opportunity to collaborate with exceptional engineers and gain deep insight into Unity internals, their VR tooling, and the processes behind delivering immersive experiences for the civil engineering space.

I have been tinkering with Unity for a long time, building small projects and games just for fun, so having the opportunity to work with a professional team and deliver a real product using Unity was a great experience.

As an owner of a one man software development studio established as a trade, I take on a wide range of projects, from small to large, from simple to complex.

Sometimes leading, sometimes following, sometimes doing both, sometimes just doing the coding.

It was a great experience and after 9 years it was time to retire The Codefather, and evolve into Affix Space.

Developed a specialized distributed text analysis software (Flask, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, React).

Developed numerous info sites, webshops and applications (Django, jQuery, Angular, React).

Studio 42 was a digital agency that I founded in 2012. I was the owner, designer and fullstack developer, while still being a student.

I was working on a variety of small web projects, designing, developing and implementing them. It was a great experience and a lot of fun, but still I had the priority to focus on my studies, not growing the business.

Designed and developed a personal SaaS startup built with Angular and Slim PHP. The project was sold to an investment partnership.

Designed and coded: https://kacaveeda.hr/, https://mbtranslating.com, https://www.skroz.org/, https://www.metapiga.org/, https://www.referada.hr/, https://kulturistra.hr/, https://uniline.hr, https://zuc-vz.hr/, and more.

Created a Python testing utility that helped solve some testing problems my team was facing.

Created a philosophy encyclopedia that is a collection of philosophy books and articles.

It is a work in progress and I am adding more books and articles as I find them.

A passion project with no real monetization strategy, its been taking forever because it is easy to get destracted and start reading the books and articles more than working on the project :)
