“As a developer myself, I set the bar quite high – yet they not only met these standards, but even went a step further when perfecting the final touches of my app. Their professionalism, eagerness to help, and commitment to getting things done made the whole process smooth and enjoyable.”
The hard part is preserving what makes the system useful.
A working business application holds more than records and screens. It holds relationships, historical decisions, exceptions and rules that people rely on.
ARENA — a backend rebuild with history to preserve.
ARENA is a real-time sports picks platform valuated at $4.2M. A platform with a history of user picks, grading and payouts, it had been running on an unstable backend that was directly damadging the business.
Revenue recovered in the first month after the backend was stabilized.
Stabilized the backend, improved performance, reduced AWS costs, and migrated critical data without loss—helping the client eliminate recurring failures.
The company’s core product, day-to-day operations, $2.2M investment in company, and sensitive user data depended on getting the backend back to a stable state.
Architecture, roadmap planning, migration planning and implementation, backend engineering, debugging, interaction with outside team, testing and code review.
Records migrated.
Migration included reconciling over 1M records across users, payments, transactions, lineup data. Data integrity was verified with automated and manual checks, and the migration process was rehearsed before cutover.

Ezypill — software built around recurring pharmacy work.

Calibre modernized an existing Django dashboard used by pharmacies in Western Canada. The application covered patient and order management, recurring orders, search, charts and delivery pricing based on distance and time.
The work connected daily records and recurring actions with the rules used to run them.

Reformat Studio — one application, distinct workflows.
Designers, clients and managers worked in distinct roles. The platform connected order processing with invoicing, payment-on-file functionality, messaging, notifications and administration.

Ceteor Energy Calculator — interdependent inputs, usable outputs.
The calculator was commissioned by CETEOR for the Bosnia Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP), a World Bank-supported programme implemented through the Federal Ministry of Spatial Planning of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The calculator combined location-based GIS data with building and system inputs. It calculated investment, energy use, emissions and annual energy costs, with results available as a PDF.
“I am extremely satisfied with Stefan's work as a Full Stack Developer. His expertise in both front-end and back-end development has greatly contributed to the success of our projects. Stefan consistently delivers high-quality code, demonstrates excellent problem-solving skills, and maintains effective communication throughout the development process.”
Software shaped around the task.
