Profile: https://flows.cv/aleksandarvukasinovic

Over the past 10 years, I’ve been building data and machine learning systems that drive real-world impact across government, startups, and SaaS. Whether as a product manager, founder, or hands-on technical contributor, I’ve designed, deployed, and scaled solutions that combine thoughtful systems thinking with data science and machine learning.

I specialize in bridging the gap between product and engineering and turning messy data into intelligent systems that serve people. My background includes leading cross-functional teams, building ML pipelines from scratch, launching data platforms, and bringing mission-driven products to market.
