Aldin Emšo | Portfolio

Overview

Backend engineer focused on APIs, integrations, and reliable production systems.

I build and maintain backend services in Go and Node.js — from database design and REST APIs to message queues, caching, and third-party integrations. I have worked on ticketing platforms, healthcare booking, legal consultation, and internal tools, often collaborating directly with clients and leadership. Comfortable working with AI-assisted developer tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to speed up implementation while keeping strong ownership of design and code quality. Open to remote roles, with on-site or hybrid work available in Sarajevo only.
