Decades of shipping production software—no visa detours.
I'm Dušan Dželebdžić, founder of ddz.dev LLC. For 20 years I've led teams to deliver software that actually hits the roadmap. Now I help companies reallocate the new $100,000 H-1B surcharge into velocity, not paperwork.
What I bring to every engagement
Full-stack depth
Backend in Symfony, Laravel, NestJS, or Python; frontend in Next.js and Tailwind; mobile in React Native; infrastructure tuned on AWS.
Delivery leadership
I break ambiguity into roadmaps, guide teams through delivery, and leave behind systems your engineers enjoy owning.
US-based operations
Engage through ddz.dev LLC (Sheridan, WY) with straightforward invoicing in USD—no immigration filings or compliance surprises.
Transparent collaboration
Work in your repos, join your stand-ups, and document decisions. You see progress in Git, not just slide decks.
Operating principles
Time zones that work
Collaborate from CET with deep overlap into EST/PST. I adapt to your sprint cadence, product reviews, and incident response windows.
Clear communication
Native-level English plus Portuguese, Spanish, German, Russian, and Greek. Stakeholders across continents stay aligned.
Security-minded
Follow least-privilege access, respect SOC2/GDPR/HIPAA boundaries, and leave behind hardening guides for your team.
Outcome-focused
Engagements end with working software, documented decisions, and a team confident to iterate without me.
