About me
A full-stack engineer who sweats the details
Sarajevo-based, product-minded, and happiest turning fuzzy ideas into things that ship.
I'm Haris — a Full-stack Engineer from Sarajevo with around 5 years of professional experience building modern web applications. My primary focus is backend architecture, scalable systems, and creating high-quality frontend user experiences.
I've worked on startups, enterprise platforms, internal products and client solutions across HR, automotive, fitness, sports, education and creator platforms. Most of my experience is in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem — React, Node.js, NestJS and Express — but I've also worked with Python (Django), .NET, Java Spring Boot, Angular, Ember and React Native, which lets me adapt quickly to different stacks. I enjoy understanding business problems, designing reliable solutions and continuously improving both my technical and engineering skills.
A good engineer is not someone who only writes code, but someone who understands the problem behind the code. I believe quality, responsibility and understanding the user's needs are more important than simply delivering more tasks. My goal is to build solutions that solve real problems and provide long-term value.
