Željko Radinski - Managing Director of LORD&BOT
zr@terminal:~$ cat letter.txt
Dear visitor,
You've landed on my personal site. I make things and occasionally break them, which is usually part of the process. At work, I'm the Managing Director of LORD&BOT, where I build custom Slack workflow automation for fintech teams. Outside of work, I spend time fishing, hiking, and making things for no particular reason, and I can make a mean goulash.
I work regularly with Zed, Hemingway Editor, Figma, and Pipedrive, and the stack I don't like working without includes Ruby on Rails, Tailwind, SQLite, and Hetzner.
A quote I return to often is David Ogilvy's: "If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants."
I also love classical music and opera.
