Selected Clients

ButterCMS
"Žan has been a pleasure to work with. Very collaborative, great communication, and provides very helpful feedback in how to best implement something new"
Jake Lumetta, CEO
I've been working on the ButterCMS development team since 2021. The work is very varied. Mainly I've been working on adding new features and optimizing and improving the API endpoints and the caching system.
ButterCMS has a relatively high volume of customers and requests which brings with it a set of problems not seen on your average project.

pretix
"When we started planning to extend our event ticketing software with a seating plan feature, we knew that we could not do this on our own – the amount of work involved would have made it impossible to build this in-house in the time frame we imagined. We’ve been lucky to find a professional as skilled as Žan to implement the frontend component of this project. Žan took the time to fully understand our goals and constraints and then continously delivered excellent, thoughtfully structured results. Communicating and working with Žan has always been a pleasure and we’d be thrilled to hire him again in the future."
Raphael Michel, Founder
The end result of this project was a frontend component for selecting seats and creating seating plans for different venues.

AstroVenture
"Žan has both broad and deep knowledge in web development. Perhaps just as important, as a consultant, he is very clear about what things will be difficult or easy, and why. This is incredibly helpful in planning both work I assign to him as well as scheduling my own work."
Andrew Mshar, Founder and developer
AstroVenture is a company that develops and markets innovative educational products. Their initial product is the University of Mars video game which is a self-contained introductory college level course. It is also appropriate for independent study of astronomy for all ages.
The work included consulting regarding API endpoints, and implementing some new/reworking some old features.
