I Published a Book: The Product

I wrote a practical product management book based on five real projects and the decisions that turned ideas into working systems.

The Product: Lessons in Building the Real and the Possible - Ivan Golubic

Over years of building devices, platforms, and systems in Croatia and the UAE, I kept running into the same gap: too many product management resources talk about frameworks, but very few show how those decisions actually play out in the real world.

So I wrote a book.

The Product is a practical guide to building real products under real constraints — with real teams and real users. It dives into five actual product journeys I helped lead: The Battery, The Bike, The Sensor, The Ventilator, and The Food. Along the way, I share how clarity, iteration, and ownership turn complexity into progress.

This book is for product managers, engineers, CTOs, founders, innovators — and anyone who cares about getting things built in the real world.

The Wait Is Over: Cogeto Is Here

Cogeto is out of stealth and now open source, bringing sovereign AI memory to Europe. Built for privacy, control, and verifiable trust, Cogeto lets users own their data, inspect their memory, and decide what stays, changes, or gets deleted.

Lost? Good. Let’s fix it.

Whether you’re building a product or building a career, I help founders make smarter moves and engineers grow beyond just coding.
