More /ABOUT me.
I make things that run on the web (mostly). I used to work at a consultancy, I freelanced building MVPs and I'm the Technical Co-founder at Supplybunny.
I'm currently exploring new positions. Please get in touch via email at me@ognjen.io or on LinkedIn if you think I might be a good fit.
I prefer using Rails, Vue and SASS.
But have used (or am curently using) many other things such as:
I also make some (mostly pun-based) graphics.
I'm thinking about ways to make tech (as in software and the industry) more human-friendly. To that end, I write about product development, ethics, privacy, etc. I also write about interesting technical issues (and solutions) or product ideas I've had.
Feel free to email me at me@ognjen.io to talk shop or just chat.

| 12k | 350 | 6 figures | $150 |
Original version was built over approximately two weeks to include supplier onboarding and product search. It's continuously been improved upon for the past ~4 years to include a very wide range of features comparable to any ecommerce platform.
Rails with nginx and MySQL. Sidekiq runs the queue, redis is for caching, elasticsearch for search. Front-end was originally Backbone.js but has been migrated to Vue. Stats run off MongoDB.
