My name is Goran Nikolovski. I was born and raised in Subotica, Serbia, where I currently live and work. Creating things and learning about programming is what makes me happy. I really like my job, in fact, I don't even see it as a job, since it brings me true happiness when I do it.
I'm a highly experienced Drupal 7, 8, 9, and 10 developer with an extensive skill set that includes PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I have experience with large Drupal sites and Drupal Commerce 2.x integration, and I'm the author of several Drupal modules. Besides PHP and Drupal, I also enjoy working with React and React Native.
Another thing that I like doing is working with servers. Setting up and optimizing a web server is as much challenging as programming. Having a good deployment tool is also essential in modern development. I like using LEMP stack (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP) for servers and self-hosted GitLab for version control and continuous integration.
My whole toolset is open source, and that is why I like contributing back to the community. I truly believe in giving back -- that's why I work on open source projects, and that's also why I visit and speak at various Drupal camps and meetups.
I'm known as gnikolovski online. Below are some of the accounts where I publish my code, thoughts, and other content:
