About

👋 Hello, my name is Mladen.

I am a software engineer based in Switzerland, with more than ten years of experience in software engineering. I have a passion for finding user-friendly solutions to complex problems and have done it for products in different industries. As a result, I have broad experience in various technologies and can learn and switch on demand.

Here's what you can expect from me
- Listen and understand your learning goals
- Design a development plan based on your learning goals
- Help you understand complex concepts
- Provide coding exercises
- Give quality code review feedback
- Help you when you are stuck
- Help you prepare for a coding interview

Here is what I can help you with:
- Server-side development (NodeJS, Express)
- Front-end development (React, Next.js)
- Mobile app development (React Native)
- Testing (unit, integration, E2E)
- Implementing Clean Code (Single responsibility)
- Design Patterns
- Productivity and Career Advice

If you are motivated and curious about software development, I would happily help!

If you need some questions answered immediately but don't want to do a full mentorship, please see my "Ask me anything" session.

Mladen has been such a huge help. I would highlight his clarity in providing direction. As a self-taught developer, I never had someone to guide me through my projects, and he has been such a huge help. I am learning and being able to progress. Also, he's such a nice and calm guy. Don't get me wrong, he will tell you what you need to hear many times, and that can sometimes not be what you want to hear, but I think that's one of the biggest benefits of having a mentor. Overall, I am really happy and would recommend it to anyone who's serious about improving as a developer. Thanks!

Mladen has been a truly dedicated mentor. He was checking in daily, following my progress, and making sure I stay on track with my goals. That kind of consistency really helped me stay focused. The calls were gold – packed with value, direction, and insights that pushed me forward every time. His approach is friendly, motivating, and still very professional. I always felt supported and understood. Also, I really appreciated the detailed code reviews – clear, constructive, and straight to the point. You can tell he actually cares and wants you to grow.

I was hesitant about getting a mentor and was skeptical at first, thinking that I had an AI that I could train to mentor me. After the first task breakdown and pull request review, I realized that I was wrong. In addition, I would like to point out Mladen's friendly approach. Seeing how much knowledge he possesses is a real motivation and incentive for faster progress!

I genuinely could not recommend Mladen enough. I connected with him because I wanted support as I was navigating job hunting in a hostile tech market, and we ended up connecting on work, imposter syndrome, family, chasing dreams etc. He becomes a mentor as much as a friend. He truly wants to bring value during the 60 minutes together, whether that's links to check out, a pitch deck to listen through or feedback on your work. I am now pursuing entrepreneurship instead of looking for a dev role, so our time together is coming to an end. But I know we will keep in touch as we are rooting for each other's success.
