👋 Hi, I'm Milan Vasic

I'm a Full-Stack Engineer with 19+ years of experience, building products across fintech, payments, blockchain, trading, and SaaS.

My background spans frontend, backend, architecture, and product engineering. I spent much of the last decade specializing in modern frontend systems, but today I work comfortably across the stack — from React and TypeScript interfaces to Node.js/Go services, APIs, databases, and distributed systems.

I enjoy the 0 → 1 stage most: turning an idea into a working product, making pragmatic architectural decisions, shipping quickly, and evolving the system as real users and real constraints arrive.


🧰 Tech Stack

  • Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, PHP, Java, HTML, CSS
  • Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue.js, React Native, Tailwind CSS, Styled Components
  • Backend: Node.js, Go, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Firebase
  • Architecture: Distributed Systems, Event-Driven Architecture, API Design, System Design
  • Data & Communication: GraphQL, WebSockets, gRPC
  • Testing: Cypress, Playwright, Unit & Integration Testing
  • Infrastructure & Tooling: Docker, AWS, Vercel, CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Vite, Turborepo
  • Security: Authentication, CSP, PII/Data Protection, Web3 Wallets

🚀 What I Focus On

  • ⚙️ Full-Stack Architecture — designing systems that stay maintainable as products grow
  • 📈 Product Engineering — balancing engineering quality, speed, UX, and business needs
  • Performance & Scalability — from frontend rendering to APIs, databases, and distributed systems
  • 💳 Fintech & Payments — payment flows, integrations, trading platforms, and financial products
  • ⛓️ Blockchain & Web3 — wallets, smart-contract integrations, trading, and on-chain products
  • 🔐 Security — authentication, application security, CSP, and protecting sensitive data
  • 🧪 Engineering Quality — testing, observability, CI/CD, and pragmatic engineering practices

🤖 AI-Native Engineering

AI has become part of how I build software rather than a separate tool I occasionally use.

I work with LLM APIs, coding agents, AI-assisted development, prompt/context engineering, automated code generation, debugging, and agentic workflows.

I use AI as a co-engineer: to explore architectures, prototype ideas, implement and review code, generate tests, investigate production issues, and automate repetitive engineering work.

I'm particularly interested in building AI-native products and developer workflows where agents augment experienced engineers rather than simply generate code.


🧠 How I Work

I care about engineering judgment over framework loyalty.

Choose the simplest architecture that solves the problem. Ship. Measure. Learn. Improve.

After almost two decades in software, I'm still happiest when there's a difficult problem, a blank repository, and something useful to build.
