Mladen Raguž

I engineer the web.

Based in Zagreb, Croatia. I engineer scalable, high-performance web applications with modern frontend frameworks and robust .NET/Node backends.

Web Expertise

With over 5 years of full-stack experience, I specialize in architecting the web. Armed with a Master's in Computer Science, my expertise deeply roots in .NET Core, Vue.js, React, and TypeScript. I thrive in the space where complex backend logic meets seamless, interactive user interfaces. From conceptualizing RESTful APIs to deploying SSR-optimized frontend applications, I focus on delivering scalable software that lives and breathes on the web.
