Tihomir Jovičić is a software engineer based in Zagreb with 9 years of experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems using Go, Python and Linux. He has driven performance and cost optimizations at scale—building a 2.5x faster, 10x more reliable email sync engine and replacing Temporal with a gRPC+Kubernetes solution that cut costs by $40k/month. As a backend and DevOps contributor to the popular open-source Dagger project, he added Cloud Run support and practical examples for running containerized pipelines on Google Cloud. His work spans high-throughput platforms handling billions of API requests and terabytes of daily data, plus hands-on freelance projects that improved provisioning and autoscaling for real customers. Equally comfortable in cloud-native orchestration, observability (OpenTelemetry), and developer tooling, he gravitates toward pragmatic engineering that yields measurable reliability and speed gains.
