Portfolio · contact@zivko.dev · LinkedIn
I’m a software engineer with 5+ years of experience building production-grade web systems across startup and enterprise environments.
My background is primarily frontend-focused, with strong experience owning systems end-to-end — from architecture and implementation to delivery and long-term maintenance.
In recent work, I’ve been exploring interactive and real-time web experiences, using motion and graphics as part of the product experience, while keeping a strong engineering foundation underneath.
