Hi, I’m Matic. Nice to meet you.
I started my journey as freelance developer almost 10 years ago. I’ve done remote work for companies, collaborated with talented people and even consulted couple of times. I’m quietly confident, naturally curious, and perpetually improving my chops.

Brief overview of my past work as a freelancer. What were factors that lead me to this point are covered on about me page.
Quite a few projects are NDA bound so they can’t be shown or talked about publicly but for most I can talk about in a limited scope in private.

My works in general
nextGEN SOLUTIONS
For the past few years I focused mainly around projects using the following stack: PHP, Laravel, Vue, Nginx, Redis, Docker, Mysql and took a step back from classic WP/WC sites and one-off gigs. In this time I gained good undestanding of core AWS products (EC2, S3, RDS etc.), why PSR12, code analysis, clear, well documented code is so important and much more.
Some examples:
– NPS service (https://nps.hs-plus.com): dynamic form based on customer review, followup flows
– RMA – Reclamation management system (https://rma.hs-plus.com): track package, order modification before it’s dispatched (address, products, order cancellation), warranty, purchase withdrawal, product manuals. RMA has deep backend integration, has support for editing addresses for 22+ countries with some couriers with multiple delivery options. It draws data from 4 different databases, 10+ APIs, synces and normalises data from 200+ shops every day, has fairly big and expanding administration section. It’s logic has to be up to date with ever changing legislation and internal processes. It’s used daily by thousands of users.
– DBT anayltics: recently created new data warehouse for BI department, which consumes 200+ FB accounts, which transforms 10s of milions of data points. Stack: dbt, jinja2/python, SQL, redshift at first, then migrated to BigQuery.
– bellow you can also find couple of public projects, but there are quite a few more about which I can only talk in private.

DŽUNGLA PLANTS d.o.o.
Created the new website for the plants ecommerce business with a fair bit of customisations. One of the highlights is custom built product page upsell which on viewing specific plant offers you a selection of pots that match currently viewed plant. After child theme development was completed I migrated existing .com site and all of its data to the new WP instance with a brand new look.
Disclaimer: I’m not active maintainer of this sites anymore.

Storitve v turizmu in projektna dela, Martina Majcen s.p.
Created website for booking listings similar to Airbnb but with much smaller scope of course.
This is one of the largest highly customised WP projects I built. It has a custom booking system, payment provider integration, iCal refresh, fiscalization (?ebelica API), cancellation policies, different booking price calculations, 2 different booking flows, a POS terminal for on-premise payments, email notification system and other features. Total scope of the project was around 40k lines (I used paid theme as a start).
