About Me

Passionate about building exceptional software

Ibrahim Šuta

Ibrahim Šuta

Software Consultant & Engineer

Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Creating custom software solutions for clients and fixing their existing products. Using state-of-art tech, battle-tested, supported, and with rich ecosystem. Able to build high-quality software solutions from scratch. No bullshit.

Seasoned Software Engineer with nearly 20 years in software development, including 12+ years of professional experience working with high-profile clients in full-stack web development.

My journey began in 2005 when I built my first website, evolving from passionate hobbyist to enterprise-level engineer. I am not only passionate about coding but also meticulous in my work. I pride myself on being highly efficient, responsible, and well-equipped with the leading tools of the trade.

My skill set is not limited to just development; I also excel in infrastructure and environment configuration. I have hands-on experience with cloud platforms like Azure and AWS, as well as custom server setups for both Windows and Linux. My toolkit includes an array of DevOps tools such as GitHub, Octopus Deploy, Team City, and Jenkins.

With over two decades under my belt in the computer world, I've logged over 50,000 hours at the keyboard. My expertise encompasses a diverse range of platforms and languages, including Windows (Win95-Win11), macOS, and Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, client, server), as well as technologies such as .NET, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, JavaScript, Node.js, React, Angular, PHP, MSSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and more.

I believe in pragmatic architecture choices - favoring monolithic architectures over microservices when it makes sense, and preferring real servers or VPS over everything-in-the-cloud approaches. While maintaining this practical mindset, I still champion modern CI/CD practices and strive for maximum automation in deployment and operations.

I am an exceptionally passionate, goal-oriented, and highly motivated team player, consistently seeking avenues for personal and team improvement. Committed to ongoing self-development, I continuously strive to make a positive impact on others.

I have taken the lead in setting up comprehensive environments from the ground up on multiple occasions. This involves meticulous planning and execution, from database creation and firewall configurations to load balancing, application setup, network configurations, mail servers, and web servers.

During my free time, I enjoy listening to audio books, playing tennis, playing games with friends, cycling, hiking, jogging and taking long walks. I like to spend some quality and mindful time with my family and friends.

Work From Home Office

I maintain a fully equipped professional home office with enterprise-grade hardware to ensure maximum productivity and reliability for all client projects.

Primary Systems
  • • Main Workstation: High-end CPU, 128 GB RAM
  • • MacBook Pro: M-series processor
  • • Secondary PC: Backup development system
  • • Full disk encryption on all devices
Display & Peripherals
  • • Primary: 4K 32" monitor
  • • Secondary: 4K 27" monitor
  • • Premium mechanical keyboard
  • • Professional audio/video setup

High-speed fiber optic connection ensuring ultra-low latency for seamless remote collaboration. Over the last 12 years, I've worked primarily with the USA market without any connectivity issues.

Why share this? Remote work requires trust. I believe in transparency about my professional setup - showing that I have reliable infrastructure, dedicated workspace, and stable connectivity eliminates any concerns about remote collaboration. Your success is my priority, and proper tools are non-negotiable.
