You don’t always get to build visual IDEs or deploy code with cat assistants.
Sometimes, you fix ancient servers. Rewrite haunted legacy systems. Or sit between a government and a database that hates you.
This is that list. Projects that paid well, tested patience, and still left something to be proud of.
🧾 Chamber of Commerce
One of three devs maintaining and extending a labyrinth of 40+ servers.
Old code, moving parts, and real-world consequences.
We kept it alive. Somehow.
📊 Credit scoring on the chain
A blockchain-based credit scoring platform — users could self-generate a credit profile and prove it cryptographically.
Designed for transparency, built for Web3 skeptics.
🔗 Digital Signatures, but Modern
Helped rewrite a 17-year-old Yii system into modern React + Spring Boot.
Also developed a secure comms layer via WireGuard VPN to …securely integrate tiny edge machines (Intel NUCs) into the central signing system.
🎮 Ads, but in Games
We built a system to create, manage, and deliver in-game ads into Unity, Unreal, and web platforms via SDKs. The “digital signature” part? Mostly contracts and invoices — but still, it scaled.
We also added a crypto reward system: users could earn a token for watching ads, which they could later redeem — Web3 loyalty, minus the buzzwords.
🧠 ERP, but Make It Make Sense
Forget clunky CRMs. This ERP aimed higher: a unified beast combining ERP, blockchain, and data smarts into one sleek platform. I helped wire the brains: architecture, integrations, and the occasional firefight when “smart automation” turned rogue. Not every tool gets to be sexy — but this one got the job done, fast and loud.
💸 Crypto Fiat Gateway (Bosnia)
Built a system for companies and individuals in Bosnia to buy/sell crypto using fiat — complete with KYC flows, reporting, and AML compliance triggers.
🎮 Gaming Industry Survivor
Roles I played (literally): dev, PM, animator, 3D modeler, multiplayer server guy, and bot developer.
Mobile, PC, online, offline — if it had pixels, I poked at it.
🏁 Moral of the story
Some of the best skills come from jobs you’d never put on a sticker.
But they build your legend, paycheck by paycheck.
