Dragan M.

Software Engineer / Team Leader / Full Stack Web Developer

I’m Dragan Mitić, a senior software engineer, system architect, and founder with 15+ years of experience building scalable web applications, SaaS products, and complex backend systems. I help startups and growing companies turn ideas into production-ready products. Fast, clean, and built to scale. My core strength is backend architecture and system design, but what sets me apart is that I think like a product owner, not just a developer. I don’t just write code, I design systems that are reliable, maintainable, and aligned with business goals. Over the years, I’ve: Built and led development of large-scale platforms used across Europe Designed SaaS products from scratch (architecture → development → deployment) Worked on complex integrations and high-performance backend systems Helped teams simplify systems, reduce technical debt, and ship faster Tech-wise, I’m strongest with: Backend: Laravel, Node.js (NestJS) Frontend: React, Next.js Architecture: scalable systems, APIs, system design, DDD principles DevOps: Docker, cloud infrastructure, production deployments Recently, I’ve been focused on building my own SaaS product and working closely with companies that need a strong technical partner, not just someone to “code tasks”. If you’re looking for someone who can: - Take ownership of your product - Make solid architectural decisions - Deliver production-ready code (not prototypes) - Communicate clearly and think long-term then we’ll work well together.
