Hi, I’m Mark - your .NET & Azure guy from Belgrade
I’m a software developer from Belgrade, Serbia, with 10 + years of professional experience building high-traffic web apps, APIs and data solutions on the Microsoft stack. I wrote my first production code on .NET Framework 4.5 and SQL Server 2012 and haven’t stopped shipping since. Today you’ll find me deep in ASP.NET Core, .NET 8, Azure PaaS, Azure DevOps pipelines and MSSQL 2022 always hunting for the cleanest architecture, the fastest query plan and the safest deployment.
Why listen to me?
- Early Azure adopter (since 2016). Led an enterprise SaaS migration from on-prem VMs to native Azure Web Apps when cloud was still “bleeding edge.”
- Full-stack Microsoft expertise. From C# and LINQ to Docker-on-Linux, from T-SQL indexing to ARM/Bicep/terraform automation.
- Real-life problem solver. Everything I write is battle-tested in production—no hello-worlds, just field notes that save you time.
- Community mentor. I’m a college drop-out turned team leader, thanks to great mentors; now I pay it forward through this blog.
