I watch how people actually work, then build the specific tools they wish existed — for accountants chasing documents, florists counting stock, chess players reviewing games.
Background
Why I build this way
I studied anthropology, which taught me one thing that stuck: people are unreliable narrators of their own workflows. The real friction is in what they've stopped noticing — the tab-switching, the copy-pasting, the walk to the back room to check what's really there.
That habit of watching before building shapes everything I make. I look for small, operational problems in industries where spreadsheets still run the show, then build tools specific enough to replace them. The result is software that fits the work, not the other way around.
Focus
What I work on
Month-Track
Workflow app for Croatian accounting firms to track missing monthly client documents, reminders, and month-end readiness.
Built from watching a real accountant spend half a morning on spreadsheets and reminder emails.
Kibitz
Paste a PGN and get a coach-level review — Stockfish finds the critical moments, OpenAI explains them in plain language.
Experimental proof-of-concept exploring the boundary between deterministic engines and LLM reasoning.
BloomOps
Inventory management system for florists — track stock, manage products, record shipments, fulfill orders, and monitor financials from one dashboard.
Inspired by my father's flower shop, where stock was tracked by memory and notebooks.

The Button
ForthcomingThe feature she loved was the one that let her stop thinking.
The Walk Home
ForthcomingThe real measure of a tool is what the user is thinking about on the drive home.
There's also a poetry collection — Within — if you want to know where the writing started.
