About

I’m Matija, a software engineer based in Zagreb.

Work

I work on payment infrastructure at Bakkt, focusing on compliance and onboarding. I’m also a partner at Kodius, where I previously led engineering as CTO.

I’ve spent 10 years building web applications, mostly in fintech and payments. I work mainly with TypeScript, Ruby, and SQL.

I also run Tandoku, my independent software consultancy.
