Hey, I'm Dainius

Engineering Manager and Backend Engineer with 10+ years of experience building CRMs, dashboards, and custom web systems — mostly with PHP/Symfony, and lately with Next.js + Tailwind for fast, modern frontends.

In my spare time I help small teams and founders shape and launch early-stage platforms that solve real problems.

Have an idea, prototype, or growing product? I’m happy to chat.
