Open to new opportunities

I build production software
that ships.

Full-stack software engineer with 5 years of experience turning complex requirements into clean, scalable systems — from enterprise financing workflows at John Deere to serverless apps used by real people.

About

The engineer you want when it actually matters.

Vini Bjazevich

I'm a full-stack software engineer who spent the last 5 years at John Deere Financial building enterprise features trusted by dealerships across the country. I've owned features from the first line of code to production deployment — writing APIs, architecting frontend state, reviewing PRs, and debugging issues in live environments.

I care about the things that make software actually good: clean abstractions, meaningful tests, performance under real load, and code that the next engineer can actually understand. I've mentored junior engineers, created onboarding documentation, and built component libraries that outlast any single sprint.

Outside of enterprise work I build side projects to explore the full stack — production databases, serverless deployments, payment flows, real-time maps. I like building things that real people use.

Currently based in Torrance, CA. Open to senior/staff roles — remote or hybrid.

The full stack.

Five years of building across the stack means I can own a feature end to end — and communicate clearly at every layer.

Experience

Where I've shipped.

Senior Software Engineer

John Deere Financial
July 2021 – Present
Remote
Led development of core financing features

Architected and shipped payment deferral, additional payment, and interest rate buy-down workflows — features that became central to the dealership sales experience and are used across hundreds of dealerships nationwide.

Owned full-stack payment recalculation logic

Designed dynamic payment schedule recalculation across frontend and backend services, ensuring financial accuracy and strict alignment with credit rules and rate engine constraints.

Consolidated shared UI into a TypeScript component library

Unified duplicated UI components spread across multiple micro frontends into a single centralized TypeScript library, significantly reducing maintenance overhead and improving cross-team consistency.

Mentored junior engineers

Led code reviews, paired on architectural decisions, and created onboarding documentation — accelerating ramp time and raising the bar for code quality across the team.

Facilitated cross-functional engineering demos

Ran recurring demos aligning frontend, backend, QA, and product stakeholders, sharpening sprint requirements and reducing back-and-forth during delivery.

Maintained 100% unit test coverage

Wrote comprehensive unit tests for all owned features and contributed to integration and end-to-end test suites, supporting a high-reliability release cadence.
