About

CTO focused on reliable products and engineering organizations.

Professional

I work as CTO at Signicat, developing high-trust services for fintech companies and governments across Europe and beyond. Previously, I was an engineering director at Klarna in Stockholm, working to make buying smoother and improve the customer experience for merchants and consumers.

With outstanding teams, I helped build Klarna Checkout, Klarna Payments, Merchant Card Services, and other purchase-related products such as In-store and Onsite messaging. In another role at Klarna, I helped develop the engineering culture through the open source program, internal and external events, and engineering marketing and publication efforts.

Before moving to Sweden, I ran Java User Group Macedonia (JugMK), building the community and developing the local event scene. The first book I co-authored was HTML5 Data and Services Cookbook. I have also taught programming courses, spoken at conferences and universities, and participated in local software communities, including hacklab KIKA and the Macedonian section of IEEE.

Personal

I love spending time with my wife and son. Life changed for both of us when Martin was born.

When I get time to myself, I spend a few hours gaming, reading, and creating content. Recently, I have been spending a lot of time cooking and improving my skills, writing a bit, and occasionally sharing photography publicly.
