Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDejan Vasic is a Staff Software Engineer based in Melbourne with 11 years of experience building production-ready web and backend systems across education, recruitment, finance and SaaS. He blends front-end leadership (React, Next.js, TypeScript, Storybook) with backend and cloud expertise (Node, Kotlin, GraphQL, Postgres, AWS Lambdas, Terraform), and has a strong track record delivering identity, search and event-driven platforms. At Open Universities Australia he architected an Auth0-based identity system that bridged legacy Sitecore, Okta federation and user migrations—enabling product decoupling from the CMS. He has repeatedly led API and DevOps improvements, from designing high-traffic ElasticSearch-backed services at SEEK to automated CI/CD and infrastructure as code in multiple teams. Known for pragmatic engineering and cross-disciplinary ownership, he often drives reusable platform components (component libraries, tenant provisioning tooling) that accelerate other teams.
