About Petar

Build senior-level JavaScript & Architecture skills — faster.

In the age of AI and layoffs, deep technical expertise is the only thing that keeps you irreplaceable. AI can write the code. It can't decide what to build, how to scale it, or why one architecture beats another.

That's the gap I help you close.

The Problem

Most JavaScript devs hit a ceiling around year 3–5.

You ship features. You know React. You've used Node in production. But when the architecture conversation starts — system design, scaling, trade-offs — you go quiet.

AI is changing the rules. The devs who stay employable aren't the ones who write code fastest. They're the ones who architect systems, lead technical decisions, and think two steps ahead of the model.

You're not stuck because you're not smart enough. You're stuck because nobody taught you to think like an architect.

I was there too.

My Story

8+ years building production systems.

Fortune 500s in cloud, finance, and travel. Ex-CEO/CTO of startups. Speaker at GitNation and Geekle. Mentored devs from junior → senior → architect.

Every promotion came down to one shift: I stopped writing code and started solving problems.

That's what The T-Shaped Dev is built on. Depth where it matters. Breadth where it counts. Architect-level thinking, applied to real code.
