Summary
Goran Pedić is a seasoned backend and systems engineer with over 12 years of experience, currently running his own consulting studio while working remotely from Croatia. He specializes in Elixir and distributed systems, with five-plus years of deep Elixir experience applied to fintech payments, messaging, and customer-facing value-added services. Goran has led small distributed teams, architected cloud-native SaaS infrastructures, and implemented robust patterns like idempotency layers, async pipelines (Oban), and paginated GraphQL backends to improve performance and reliability. He combines hands-on engineering with product and business sensibility—having led a startup that later joined Y Combinator—and publishes pragmatic open-source Elixir libraries born from real production needs. Not obvious from titles: he repeatedly bridges the gap between developer tooling, DevOps automation and product outcomes, enabling teams to safely scale complex integrations.
