About

Engineer by trade, fighter by habit

I'm Faruk, a final-year Software Engineering student at FIT Mostar, from Kakanj. I build full-stack web apps for clients and teams. Outside of code I hold a 2nd Dan black belt in Taekwondo and coach at the Bosna Rudar club.

How I work

  • KaizenEvery commit and every review is a chance to get 1% better.
  • Clear codeCode is read far more than it is written. Clarity beats cleverness.
  • Ship, then iterateWorking software and real feedback beat guessing.
  • Do the repsConsistent practice beats raw talent, on the mat and at the keyboard.

On the mat

The mat teaches what the classroom can't: how to handle failure, reset and go again. That same loop is how I approach every pull request.
