◆ DÜSSELDORF, DE◆ EX-NECKARFREUNDE◆ LEAD @ SIGNATURE MEDIA

Builds, breaks,
and repairs the web.

Lead Developer obsessed with WordPress at scale, headless React stacks, and the forensic art of un-hacking sites that should never have been hacked. Reads on-chain transactions for fun. Trains for the rest.

The stack I live in.

Hover any tile. The page does little things on purpose — like decrypting a label. That's the whole vibe: precise on the surface, weird underneath.
A · 01
WordPress at scale
From custom Gutenberg blocks to multisite networks. ACF, custom post types, REST API plumbing.
A · 02
WooCommerce
Storefronts, payment gateways, custom checkout flows. Performance-tuned.
B · 03
PHP / OOP
Modern PHP. Composer. Clean architecture, not spaghetti.
B · 04
SCSS / CSS
Design-system-first. Tokens, motion, accessibility.
B · 05
JavaScript ES6+
Vanilla where it should be vanilla. Frameworks where they earn their weight.
C · 06
React · Headless
Headless WP front-ends. Still leveling up — and very honest about it.
C · 07
WPML / multilingual
Multi-locale sites that don't fall apart on the third language.
C · 08
On-chain literacy
Reading contracts and following transactions like a hobby. Crypto on the side, but a serious side.

What I get hired for.

Three lanes. All of them are deep work — no agency-fluff.

05 / Off the keyboard

Not just bytes.

A few honest things. Some are placeholders — give me your real ones and I'll swap them in.
FACT · 01
Born Serbian, made in Stuttgart, working in Düsseldorf.

Three cities, three accents, one stack of stickers on the laptop.

FACT · 02
Trades on-chain in his off-hours.

Reads contracts, follows wallets, learns by doing. Not financial advice, just curious.

FACT · 03
Hacked-site whisperer.

Has un-pwned more WordPress sites than he's had birthdays.

FACT · 04
Sport keeps the head clear.

Counterweight to debugging at 2am. (Tell me your sport — I'll put it here.)

FACT · 05
Speaks code in three languages.

Srpski, Deutsch, English — and the dialect of git blame.

FACT · 06
Will refactor your CSS at parties.

Don't show him your stylesheet unless you mean it.

FACT · 07
Coffee : black. Bugs : black box.

Both eventually crack open with patience.

FACT · 08
Ships on Fridays.

Confidently. Because there are tests.
