Hi, I am Marijan - a fullstack web developer. My main focus is on the Laravel framework (PHP) and Vue.js or jQuery

My developer journey started when I received a scholarship from the Algebra Open University. There, I first learned ASP.NET with C# and SQL. Afterwards, I received two more scholarships: one for web design and one for developing web applications with PHP and MySQL.

Before getting my first “actual” job, I completed a few side projects that helped me learn best practices early on. While working for a company full time, I discovered my career game changer – Laravel. Since then, my career has taken a steep ascending shape. I also applied to a couple of freelance websites where I met many awesome clients who, as I found out in the years to come, would actually become permanent partners.

90% of my freelance clients are returning clients requesting new features.

Fun fact

I can tackle any PHP framework, SaSS, task runners (gulp, npm, yarn), git, jQuery, Vue.js, and more. I highly specialize in Laravel, Drupal, WordPress, and overall in speed optimizations.

Personally, I am very proud of my open source contributions on Drupal.org (https://www.drupal.org/u/marijan-gudelj | https://git.drupalcode.org/Maky-Macchiato) and Stack Overflow (https://stackoverflow.com/users/730919/maky).

Currently, I work as a technical lead at Lelo/Intimina/Lelo Hex, working on a global high-performance e-commerce system built in Drupal.
