About me

Hi! I’m Branko Sekulović, a Serbian developer obsessed with turning complex problems into simple, reliable products. I split my time between computer science studies and shipping work that blends full-stack engineering, data exploration, and automation.

From translating stakeholder needs into product roadmaps to squeezing every ounce of value from a dataset, I enjoy owning the entire lifecycle of a project. Recent work includes leading automation for a volunteer security collective, building internal dashboards for local businesses, and mentoring peers through Harvard’s CS50 community.

I’m looking to join a team where I can keep learning fast, deliver measurable outcomes, and contribute to a thoughtful engineering culture. If that sounds like you, let’s talk.

What I’m focused on

  • Dashboard wireframe icon

    Product discovery

    Partnering with founders to clarify the problem space, frame experiments, and translate insight into actionable backlogs.

  • Terminal icon

    Full-stack delivery

    Shipping TypeScript front-ends, Python services, and PostgreSQL data models with maintainable testing and CI workflows.

  • Workflow automation icon

    Automation systems

    Designing scripts, CLIs, and data pipelines that remove manual steps and give stakeholders trustworthy insights.

  • Neural network node icon

    AI-assisted workflows

    Prototyping ML-driven helpers that summarize signals, flag anomalies, and accelerate human decision making.

Results I’m proud of

  • 60% faster

    Incident triage for a volunteer security collective after refactoring Bash scripts into typed Python tooling.

  • 4× adoption

    Growth in active users when I rebuilt a student portal with accessible components, localized copy, and analytics instrumentation.

  • 2-week launch

    Shipped a dashboard MVP for a regional energy startup, guiding roadmap, data modeling, and investor-ready storytelling.
