đź‘‹ I help founders build the right product and lead lost developers to level up beyond code.
I’m Ivan Golubić - a CTO, Product Owner, and Solution Architect. I bring a rare blend of technical depth and strategic thinking, specializing in scalable, cloud-native, automation-driven, and AI-integrated systems for defense and industrial innovation. My work translates complex business needs into secure, future-proof digital solutions.
From discovery to MVP and global rollouts, I’ve led cross-functional teams of 15+ across international markets, including high-impact deployments in Abu Dhabi.
Early in my career, I deliberately chose to work as a hands-on developer, not because I had to, but because I wanted to understand how systems behave from the inside. By embedding myself at the code level, I learned how real-world processes break, scale, and evolve. That bottom-up view lets me design products and systems that work, not just in theory but also in production.
đź§ Domain Expertise
My experience spans mobility, defense, healthcare, automation, energy, and food tech, where I’ve delivered full-stack solutions that combine cloud infrastructure, IoT, and intelligent control logic.
I operate at the intersection of architecture and execution—aligning product strategy with systems design, data flow, and embedded integrations.
Whether it’s crafting BPMN diagrams, defining acceptance criteria, or writing SWAT, RACI, and BDD documentation, I bring order to complexity and clarity to execution.
