13 years in software, last 5+ on backend. Most recently 2 years at FuelMe (fuel management SaaS), where I joined as Senior Backend Dev and was promoted to Tech Lead. I built their procurement and invoice-auditing workflows on Node, Postgres and AWS, and wrote the OpenEnvoy and QuickBooks integrations.

Before that: Cinnamon (fantasy sports, Revaire), DistantJob (multi-client backend), and 7 years self-employed building mobile games. One title passed 10M downloads.

I use Claude Code and Codex daily. Three open-source MCP servers on npm: postgres-scout-mcp, mongo-scout-mcp, kontra-mcp.

Available now for full-time remote (Europe, US, Canada) or B2B via Lukic Engineering DOO in Serbia, invoiced in EUR or USD. Short contracts are fine too. I can overlap until 18:00 Belgrade time (CET/CEST).

Fair, AI was in the loop. I'm not a native English speaker. I laid out what happened and in what order, and AI turned it into readable English. Nothing in it is hallucinated: every number comes from the raw Play Console exports at the bottom of the page. Without the tool people correct my grammar, with it they correct my style. Point taken though, I'll run the next one through your list.

And yes, this reply went through AI too.

Author here. The downloads at the bottom of the page are the raw Play Console exports plus the merged monthly CSV the chart is drawn from. Happy to answer questions about either era.

13 years in software, 5+ focused on backend. Most recently Tech Lead at a fintech startup (Node.js/TypeScript/PostgreSQL/AWS) -- led architecture decisions, code review authority, and shipped the platform from early stage to production scale.

Before backend, I spent 7 years as an independent game developer with a title that crossed 10M downloads.

I build and maintain open-source MCP servers published on npm (@bluwork) -- tools for database inspection and management that work with Claude Code and other MCP clients.

Looking for senior backend or tech lead roles. B2B contracts preferred. CET timezone, available immediately.
