About

I build things.

Hi, I’m Jure, I’ve been writing code for a better half of my life. I’ve spent 13+ years building software across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and product, and these days my focus has shifted almost entirely to applied AI.

I’m a passionate self-learner, explorer, and builder. I spend most of my time building things, you can see some of my recent public work below.

In my work I make heavy use of AI and agentic coding tools, on which I regularly share my thoughts on X.

Outside of work, I build personal projects, make music, and create generative art at jdmnk.art.

How I Work

My thoughts on coding

I believe code should be readable, simple, and friendly for both developers and AI tools. I prefer explicit implementations and minimal abstractions to keep behavior clear and maintainable.
