About
Full-stack engineer and tech lead. Based in Zagreb, working with EU and US teams.
I'm Boban, a full-stack engineer and tech lead based in Zagreb. Eight years in software: frontend first, then full-stack, then leading teams and products.
Today I run the technical side of Recommend, a demand-intelligence platform, and build AI systems for real-estate operators in New York through MetaProp Labs. On the side I ship my own products: Stylr, an AI virtual try-on app on the App Store, and SVG Otter, a design marketplace with 35,000 products.
I like building end to end, from the database to the App Store, with a spec first and every line reviewed. No buzzwords, concrete numbers, short sentences.
What I do
- Product & tech leadership
- Backend (.NET, Node, Python)
- Web & mobile (Next.js, React Native)
- AI systems (LLM apps, MCP, evals)
- Data pipelines
