Who is Darko Vidaković?

Portrait of Darko Vidaković

I am a builder and a leader. I love shipping great products, mentoring engineers, and helping teams do their best work. With significant experience in software engineering, as an engineer, tech lead and engineering manager I've decided to share my joirney and experiences with the world.
