My background centers on Java, Python, distributed systems, and delivering production-grade machine learning solutions that support high-volume, mission-critical environments. I have designed and shipped LLM-powered chatbots, real-time data pipelines, and microservices that handle millions of daily transactions. My work has focused on combining backend engineering, machine learning, and MLOps to create reliable systems with strong performance, observability, and scalability. In my recent roles, I architected production chatbot backends, built end-to-end RAG pipelines, and developed fraud detection platforms using Kafka, Spark, PyTorch, Kubernetes, and cloud services. I have also worked extensively on model optimization, inference acceleration, and automated deployment workflows. I enjoy solving complex technical challenges across the full stack of AI systems, from data ingestion and feature generation to model deployment and monitoring. I have experience with Spring Boot, FastAPI, LangChain, Hugging Face, vector databases, and modern cloud-native tooling. I also bring strong leadership and collaboration skills. I have worked closely with product, data engineering, and algorithm teams to translate business needs into technical solutions, and I have mentored junior engineers on backend architecture, code quality, and MLOps best practices. My career has included roles at ArisGlobal, TaskUs, and Deloitte, where I consistently delivered improvements in latency, throughput, reliability, and operational efficiency. I am based in Zagreb, Croatia, and I speak Croatian and English. ## Professional area ### [Developer & Engineer](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/dev.md) ## Skills ### [AWS](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/aws.md)[CI/CD](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/ci-cd.md)[DevOps](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/devops.md)[Docker](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/docker.md)[GCP](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/gcp.md)[Java](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/java.md)[JavaScript](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/javascript.md)[Kubernetes](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/kubernetes.md)[Mentoring](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/mentoring.md)[Microservices](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/microservices.md)[MongoDB](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/mongodb.md)[Monitoring](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/monitoring.md)[MySQL](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/mysql.md)[PostgreSQL](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/postgresql.md)[Python](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/python.md)[Redis](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/redis.md)[Spring Boot](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/spring-boot.md)[SQL](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/sql.md)[TensorFlow](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/tensorflow.md)[Terraform](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/terraform.md)[TypeScript](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/typescript.md) ## Education Oct 2012 - Sep 2015 BSc in Electrical Engineering & IT @ University of Zagreb ## Experience May 2022 - Apr 2026 Senior AI/ML Developer @ ArisGlobal Architected and deployed a production LLM-powered chatbot backend using Java Spring Boot and Python integration layer, serving millions of daily user interactions with sub-500ms latency.
