About Me

software engineer

Hey, I'm Jakov — a Senior Software Development Engineer at Autodesk, based in Dubrovnik. These days I live mostly in React, Node.js, and JavaScript — building scalable, product-grade features that ship to millions of users worldwide. My roots are in .NET and C#, which still shape how I think about architecture and clean backend design. I care about writing code that's readable, fast, and built to last.

What I Do

Frontend Engineering

Building performant, scalable UIs in React — from component architecture and state management to seamless UX. I focus on code that's maintainable at scale, not just code that works today.

Backend & APIs

Designing and shipping reliable Node.js services and REST APIs — with a sharp eye on performance, security, and clean contracts between systems. Backed by years of .NET architecture thinking.

Software at Scale

At Autodesk, I work on software used by millions of engineers and designers worldwide. That means thinking beyond features — into reliability, observability, and long-term system health.
