Andrija Kolenda — Full-Stack Engineer

/ 01

Currently

April 2026

Building the system that runs NovaPro Machining — a custom ERP covering quoting, inventory, cut tracking, and consumables. ~150,000 lines and counting. On the hardware side: a full network rebuild — UniFi VLANs, TrueNAS migration, WireGuard remote access.

Solo-shipping fundingtracker.app on the side — a multi-tenant MCA platform with Stripe Connect, RLS-isolated Postgres, AI-parsed contracts, and a CI/CD pipeline that auto-merges Supabase migrations on promotion to prod.

Education

★ Graduated · April 2026

Bachelor of Computer Information Systems

Computer Science focus · Minor in Finance

Mount Royal University · Calgary, AB

3.88.

GPA · Sep 2021 → Apr 2026

CIS applies computer science to business — programming, systems analysis, database management, network security. I weighted my own program ~75 / 25 toward technical electives. The Finance minor gives me the language for the other side of the room when the engineers and the operators have to agree on something.
