Tinkering & Telling Stories
Technology is my playground. I build products, invent solutions, write about what I learn, and constantly explore new ideas. Whether it's hacking together a project, refining a concept, or sharing insights, I thrive on the process of discovery and creation.
My Ongoing Work
I build projects to solve real problems, explore new ideas, and push the limits of technology. Here are some of the things I’ve been working on.

Open Apps
Curated open-source apps for every task, vetted for quality and performance by a seasoned technologist. Find free, open-source alternatives to the tools you rely on without the SaaS price tag.

Great work speaks for itself, but hearing from those I’ve collaborated with is even better. Here are some words from peers and colleagues.
Baran is one of the most technically capable people I've ever worked with. He has a deep understanding of how platforms should be built from his experience building many platforms in different languages and frameworks. Baran is also very good with identifying technical talent and interviewing them.

LinkedIn ProfileAccording to the nature of my work I deal with remote developers more often than not. I can honestly say that Baran is one of the best programmers I had ever cooperated with. Always available, does tasks properly, can cope with troubles well and very stress-resistant. A client Baran worked for was very satisfied, prolonged the contract and instructed him to supervise other remote developers. It is pleasure to deal with Baran and I am sure, working on any other project in the future, he will never let us down, neither a customer nor our company. I will continue cooperation with him with pleasure. He is confident and responsible!

LinkedIn ProfileBaran is a smart, motivated technologist with a multidisciplinary skill set. He was a natural fit into our startup, providing a welcome mix of design work, software development, marketing/SEO, and business insights. He is a great communicator and seems to at all times have a good attitude. It was a pleasure working with him and we hope to collaborate on something again in the future.

LinkedIn ProfileBaran is an outstanding developer and technology leader. If there is a box – he thinks outside it. He is one of the best solution innovation minds that I have had the privilege to work with. His ability to create customer value by bringing together modern technology differentiates him and puts him into an elite class of developers. I have enjoyed working with him immensely and would love to do so again.

LinkedIn ProfileIt has been really great working with Baran. He is an excellent developer who has a deep attention to details and always thrives to build a great product. Baran knows his craft, he is the sort of developer that can take an initial idea, tackle it from multiple angles and reshape it into something better that wasn't previously thought of.
