Backend engineer, payments and financial systems, Prishtina, Kosovo
I build payment and ledger systems where every amount has to add up.
Six years in banking and payments, mostly C# and .NET. I work on the payments platform at Buckaroo, a Dutch payment service provider, and outside that I build and run NovaHR, an HR and payroll product for companies in Kosovo.

Rounding each share loses a cent. Giving it to the largest remainder puts it back.
About
Most of my work sits where money moves: reconciliation, ledgers, invoicing, hosted card fields, and the services around them. The part I care about is correctness under real conditions. Files get delivered twice, requests race, rounding leaves a cent behind, and a match that looks plausible is sometimes wrong.
Day to day that means C#/.NET, MySQL, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch and AWS, with TypeScript and Python where the problem needs them. I write the design document before the code, and I stay on call for what I ship.
NovaHR
A multi-tenant HR and payroll product for companies in Kosovo, built and sold on my own. It runs in production for three companies and about 70 employees: gross-to-net payroll with Kosovo income tax and pension, declaration and bank payment files, geolocated attendance, shifts and leave, and a public API.
Built on .NET 8 with EF Core and MySQL, a React web app and a React Native mobile app, with integration tests that run against a real MySQL.
