City council decisions get formally voted on, and the Municipality of Bitola wanted that process to move online without losing the trust that comes with a public, verifiable vote.
This is a government system used to make binding civic decisions, so the bar for "good enough" sits much higher than for a typical business application.
Councillors sign in with individually assigned access, cast their vote on whichever agenda item is on the floor, and see the result tallied and recorded so it can be reviewed and verified afterward - no one, including whoever built the system, can quietly alter a result after the fact.
What I did
- Built the application from the ground up.
- Hardened the server it runs on and tightly scoped who can do what inside it (role-based access control).
- Designed the underlying data so every vote leaves a clear, auditable trail - the most important engineering here is the part nobody ever sees.

So yes, it's just a login screen. Doesn't mean it has to be boring.
This one's for Truxco, a Swedish marketplace for buying and selling used buses across Europe. Not the industry you'd expect design craft from. Exactly why it stands out.
The login is the first thing every user touches, every single session. It can feel like a chore, or it can set the tone for everything behind it.
A "boring industry" is just an industry nobody's designed properly yet.
The motion blur on the bus behind the login form is such a clever touch, it turns a static moment into part of the journey. What made you land on that visual metaphor over something more literal like route lines or a ticket motif?
One thing I care about when building interactions like this is accessibility, especially making sure they still work well when you’re not using a mouse.
For this merchant onboarding component, that meant:
- Keyboard navigation with a logical tab order
- Focus management through expand and collapse
- ARIA states for disclosures and dropdown menus
- Clear focus states across light and dark
- Reduced motion when the user prefers it
A lot of this isn’t really obvious from looking at the UI, but it’s part of the build for me.
Reduced motion support is the one people forget most, and it's invisible in the UI but still part of the build, that framing is spot on. Most non-technical clients would never think to ask for any of this. Do you have a go-to way of testing focus order beyond just tabbing through manually?
👋 Hi Contra!
I'm a full-stack developer with 7+ years of commercial experience, and right now I'm actively looking for new projects.
I build things from idea to production:
• Websites and web apps with Next.js & React
• Backend and APIs with Python / FastAPI / Node.js
• PostgreSQL and databases
• Telegram bots, Mini Apps and automation
• AI-powered tools and integrations
• MVPs and internal tools
I recently joined Contra and have already completed my first project — now I'm looking to take on more work and build long-term relationships with great clients.
At the moment, I have availability and I'm flexible with project budgets, especially for interesting projects, startups and long-term collaborations.
If you need someone who can take an idea, build the frontend and backend, connect APIs, AI services or payments — and actually ship a working product — I'd love to talk.
And if you know someone looking for a developer, I'd really appreciate a connection or a share 🙌
Impressive experience and skill set; great to see strong full-stack expertise paired with polished, production-ready work! 👏🚀
