About
I build things.
Hi! I’m Jure and I’ve been writing code for the better half of my life. I work across the stack - frontend, backend, infra and product. I have a lot of experience with AI, and I’ve also spent a lot of time working in Web3.
I love building things and spend most of my time doing so :)
In my work I make heavy use of AI and agentic coding tools, on which I regularly share my thoughts on X as well as here.
Outside of work I build personal projects, make music, spend time in nature, and create generative art at jdmnk.art.
Philosophy
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.
