At Levi9, technical excellence isn’t just about writing code – it’s about ownership, adaptability, and the ability to deliver under pressure. Last quarter, Aleksandar Ivanović embodied all these qualities and more, making him a clear choice for our Q4 Tech Leader award.
Rising to the Challenge
The project he has worked on presented a unique set of challenges: high complexity, constant client collaboration, and live coding sessions that demanded both technical precision and strong communication skills.
His scope of work extended far beyond typical development tasks. From infrastructure setup and Expo Services configuration to Maestro testing and comprehensive test automation, Aleksandar covered multiple technical domains simultaneously.
Building Foundations That Last
One of Aleksandar’s most significant contributions was setting up the entire Android CI/CD pipeline from scratch. This wasn’t a straightforward implementation – he navigated several challenging edge cases and delivered a solution that significantly improved delivery reliability and reduced deployment risks. The pipeline he built became a cornerstone of the project’s success, eliminating manual effort and giving the team confidence in every release.
His work on test automation was equally impressive. Aleksandar refactored and improved more than half of the existing Maestro tests, transforming them into a stable and maintainable test suite that increased release confidence and reduced regressions. This wasn’t just about fixing what was broken – it was about elevating the entire testing infrastructure to production-ready standards.
Learning, Adapting, Excelling
What sets Aleksandar apart is his ability to quickly master unfamiliar technical domains. Maestro testing was outside his primary area of expertise, yet he not only learned it but became proficient enough to substantially improve the existing implementation. This fast learning and practical application demonstrated the kind of intellectual curiosity and technical agility that drives innovation.
His adaptability and consistent delivery were key factors in the client’s decision to extend his engagement – a testament to the value he brought to the project and the trust he built with stakeholders.
Living Our Values
Aleksandar’s work this quarter is a perfect reflection of Levi9’s core values. He showed true ownership by taking on additional responsibilities and ensuring delivery even in challenging conditions. His loyalty was evident in his willingness to step in wherever needed. His commitment to continuous learning and his collaborative approach with the client demonstrate the kind of professionalism and dedication that define our culture.
Congratulations, Aleksandar, on this well-deserved recognition. Your technical excellence, adaptability, and unwavering commitment have set a high standard for all of us. Thank you for being an outstanding example of what it means to be a Tech Leader at Levi9!
