Why clients can trust it
- Every product above is live. Install the apps and try the sites before we talk.
- Production-grade from day one: tests, CI/CD and security checks, deployed to your cloud. You own the code and the accounts.
- Built for European markets: shipping in 7 languages, with localization and store releases handled.
- Most of my code is private, so I'll walk you through real pipelines and codebases on a call.
Start a project: email what you want to build, your timeline and your budget range. I reply within 24 hours with next steps.

- Cloud-agnostic: the same pipeline targets serverless, containers or Kubernetes on whichever provider fits the product.
- Every product deploys from CI. Nobody touches production by hand.
- AI agents generate on a schedule. Policy checks decide what auto-merges.
- Health checks and dependency gates run daily, so drift is caught before users see it.
Tirana, Albania (Central European Time). I work remotely with clients across the Balkans and the rest of Europe.
Mobile apps (iOS, Android, watchOS, Wear OS), web apps and SaaS, AI products and agents, and cloud & DevOps work such as CI/CD, Terraform, Kubernetes and migrations on AWS, GCP, Azure or Cloudflare. See Hire me to build it.
Yes. Adding AI features to an existing app, setting up CI/CD, cutting cloud costs and migrating between providers are all part of the services above.
You do. Everything is deployed to your cloud, and you own the code and the accounts.
Most of my code is private, so I walk you through real pipelines and codebases on a call. The case studies describe the architecture of live products, and every app and site listed is live to try.
Email what you want to build, your timeline and your budget range to kovacirexhino@gmail.com (write in Gmail · mail app). I reply within 24 hours with next steps.
Most of my work lives in private repos. If you want a walkthrough, a collab or a contract, get in touch (kovacirexhino@gmail.com).
