AI-Augmented Engineering Lead based in Belgrade, Serbia
24+ years building software — from safety-critical avionics certified by the FAA to cloud infrastructure handling millions of RPS at Yandex. Now pivoting full-time into AI-augmented / "vibe coding" engineering roles: shipping at LLM-accelerated pace while keeping output production-grade.
Team Lead @ AeroNAV — managing a team of 8 building an airport meteorological radar system. 11 repos, 605+ PRs; built the team's LLM-accelerated engineering process end-to-end (AI-driven PR review pipeline, parallel multi-agent refactors, RAG-enhanced review, Gitea/Redmine MCPs).
Software Developer @ Yandex (May 2023 – May 2026) — L3/L7 load balancing control plane orchestrating traffic for millions of RPS. 366 PRs merged adding 122K+ lines, 869 PRs reviewed. Built one of Yandex's first infra MCP servers (20+ tools for natural-language AWACS management).
