About RadioBalkan Engineering
Hi, I'm Nik.
I'm building RadioBalkan, a platform that brings together live radio stations from across the Balkans into a single searchable directory.
What started as a small side project has grown into a platform featuring:
- 760+ live radio stations
- Hundreds of SEO-optimized pages
- Automated stream validation
- Analytics and monitoring tools
- Android app development
- Continuous data aggregation and cleanup
This publication documents the technical side of that journey.

Why This Blog Exists
Most articles here are based on real-world problems encountered while building RadioBalkan.
Instead of theoretical tutorials, I share practical lessons, experiments, mistakes, and solutions that come from shipping an actual product.
