About

A senior engineer
who ships whole products

I'm Dejan Agostini, a software engineer based in Osijek, Croatia. I've spent 15+ years building production software — leading mobile teams, shipping apps used by millions, and working across industries from clinical trials to fleet management to public transport.

Now I'm doing something different. Using AI-augmented development, I build complete web products — from database to deployment — at a pace that used to require a full team. My latest proof: drzavniispit.hr, a first-of-its-kind practice platform for Croatia's mandatory state exam, which surpassed my previous launch (kuda.hr) in registrations and traffic within its first week.

I also wrote about iOS development on my technical blog — over 120 articles published weekly between 2016 and 2019.

Approach

Full product delivery,
not just development

Most agencies sell you hours. We sell you outcomes. You get a working product — designed, built, and deployed.

01

Concept → Prototype

We go from your idea to a clickable prototype in days, not weeks. Fast feedback loops mean we nail the right product before writing production code.

02

AI-augmented build

We leverage cutting-edge AI coding tools to build at 5–10x speed. This isn’t vaporware — it’s the same approach behind drzavniispit.hr and kuda.hr, live products serving thousands of Croatian users.

03

Ship & iterate

We don’t disappear after launch. Continuous deployment, real user feedback, and rapid iteration until the product finds its footing.

Background

15 years of shipping,
now supercharged

A track record across startups, scale-ups, and enterprises — from mobile teams of 15 to solo product builds. Now amplified by AI tooling.
