About · Tomislav Krnic

One senior person. Twenty-five years of shipping.

Krnic CommV is founded and run by Tomislav Krnic. The studio is one senior developer who decides, builds and carries products to production, with AI agents running the operations around the work.

Senior software developer. Founder of Krnic CommV. Gent, Belgium

Who

Twenty-five years of building software, twenty of them at the pace of the American market: decide in the morning, ship in the evening. A founder eight times over, with two of those companies sold. More than a hundred products shipped to market, in roles from engineer to founder, mostly at the hard parts: the demanding early phases of a startup, or the big leaps in a product’s life.

An early member of the Toptal network, where the client work for Bird Buddy, Journey and Full Proof came from. Croatian by origin, based in Gent, Belgium, working through Krnic CommV.

How the studio works

AI-native means the product is designed around AI from the first day, and the company around it as well. The studio’s own products are built, marketed, sold and run by AI agents with defined roles, under human approval. The badge “AI self-driving business” on a project means exactly that: no human in the daily operating loop.

Model-agnostic by principle: Claude, Gemini and others, chosen per job, never one provider as a lock-in. The same rule applies to client work.

Work with Tomislav directly

The offer for companies is one senior person who owns the AI outcome, from the first decision to production. Three examples of what a phase looks like:

Senior engineering on contract: for teams that need a pair of senior hands on the build, not a CTO. Same person, same standards, by the day or by the phase.

The full offer: AI is on your agenda. Who owns it?
