Full-Stack Engineer, frontend-focused · Novi Sad, RS

I'm a full-stack engineer at Plainly, on a team small enough that most of the frontend is mine. Our platform, Plainly Videos, turns After Effects templates and your data into rendered video at scale — a few hundred thousand videos a month — and I look after the dashboard behind it: projects, template parameterization, render queues, billing. I also built PlainlyFlows, our newer product, from an empty repo to its launch in July 2026.

The rest of my time goes to things that live in the open: the After Effects plugin that pushes projects straight to Plainly, an MCP server so AI agents can drive our render API, a hot-reload tool I wrote because reopening a CEP panel on every save gets old, and willitspam.com, which I shipped solo. When a dependency is the thing that's broken, I'd rather fix it upstream than patch around it.

I like tests and CI that actually catch things — Vitest and Playwright in Actions, Biome and oxlint on everything, types shared across repos so nothing quietly drifts. Claude Code is part of that loop now: I write its rules, read what it produces, and keep adding checks so it can verify its own work. Based in Novi Sad, Serbia, and open to new work.
