SeharaCloud

Full-stack project built in collaboration with colleagues Tašić Tajra and Kolasević Amel. The system enables multi-format data transmission to a mobile application via API calls towards a database hosted on a home server, along with format-specific rendering and playback.

Technologies used:

SQL C++ .NET C# Git Kotlin UI/UX (Figma)

tmv - Timer Move

TMV (timer mv) is a minimal move utility written in Bash. It moves files using built-in presets and integrates with systemd.timer, so moves run on a schedule instead of by hand. Built to stay small, readable and easy to adapt to your own folders.

Technologies used:

Bash Linux Git

TiltControl - Multi-purpose App

Mobile application focused on reading accelerometer sensor data for:
• Real-time object manipulation (motion, scaling, speed)
• Collision physics engine for motion-controlled games
• Universal hardware device controller mapping

Technologies used:

.NET C# .NET MAUI Git Embedded (C++)

PerfTest IN DEVELOPMENT

Project for load testing three different APIs — Python FastAPI, Java Spring Boot and ASP.NET Core — with k6. All three serve the same simulated eStore, so the main purpose is to stress test them and compare the resulting metrics side by side.

Technologies used:

Python Docker Spring Boot ASP.NET Core PostgreSQL

SIM Base IN DEVELOPMENT

Desktop application made for an insurance company to replace pen, paper and Excel datasheets. The system has a detailed License Calculator, a Template Filler and complete database manipulation, all through a JavaFX interface.

Technologies used:

Java PostgreSQL System Design

BORBA — TUI Game

BORBA (v1.3) is a turn-based console game inspired by classic Pokémon games, written in C++. It features a custom header-only library for animations, RAII principles, MVC architecture, and standard STL library utilization.

Technologies used:

C++ Git

RBAC-SYS — Admin vs Worker

Terminal system implemented following RBAC principles for role-based privilege separation. Features action audit logging, custom terminal text editor (Vim/nano style on Linux), and modular library reuse.

Technologies used:

C++ Linux Git

Graphical & UI/UX Designs

Systematic vector design workflows for promotional posters, business cards, and comprehensive UI/UX wireframes. High attention to alignment, grid layouts, and aesthetic identity.

Technologies used:

UI/UX (Figma) Inkscape

MyCV

Fast, modern static web portfolio mimicking clean paper resumes with glassmorphism touches.

• Built with HTML5, CSS3, JS
• Self-hosted & served on custom domain samer.kolasevic.com

Technologies used:

HTML + CSS + JS Git

Homelabbing & Server Infrastructure

Self-Hosted Lab & Server Administration

I independently run and maintain a private Linux home server infrastructure. It serves as my active environment for hosting production applications, testing PostgreSQL & SQL Server workloads, deploying REST APIs, and mastering system administration.

Live Hosted Domains

Production reverse-proxy hosting with SSL setup:

samer.kolasevic.com amel.kolasevic.com meho.kolasevic.com

Hosted Services & Ecosystems

SeharaCloud Infrastructure: Database API server streaming multi-format data to clients
Brother's ORM Framework: Staging environment & testing pipelines for custom ORM tools
System Services: Nginx routing, automated backup scripts, and service isolation

OPEN FOR COLLABORATION

Open for hosting & infrastructure collaborations: Interested in deploying, testing, or hosting your project on reliable self-hosted Linux infrastructure? I am always open to technical inquiries and joint projects!
