About
Hello!
I'm based in Belgrade, Serbia. I graduated with a degree in software engineering from the University of Belgrade School of Electrical Engineering.
My professional journey began as a full-stack engineer, but as time went on, I found my niche in blockchain protocol/solution development.
Outside of coding, I frequently attend conferences to keep up with the latest in tech.
Work Experience
Babylon Labs (Typescript/Solidity/Rust)
Position: Lead Solution Engineer
As the Lead Solutions Engineer at Babylon, I lead the integration of Bitcoin Supercharged Networks (BSN), collaborating with partners such as BOB, Lombard, Manta, AltLayer, Plume, TAC, and ANKR to drive ecosystem adoption. My work spans architecture, development, and end-to-end integration of these systems. Currently, I'm focused on advancing Bitcoin Trustless Vaults, contributing to both the core architecture and implementation. Stay Tuned!
=nil; Foundation (Go/Typescript/Solidity)
Position: Integrations Tech Lead
As the Integrations Tech Lead at =nil; Foundation, I led zkLLVM integration efforts across the ecosystem, collaborating with partners including Lido, LayerZero, Aztec, and Aleo to adapt their architectures for zkLLVM adoption. I designed and developed v1 of the Proof Marketplace alongside the team.
When the company pivoted to building a zk sharding L2, my focus shifted to building internal and external integrations critical to ecosystem growth. We built the first cross-shard dApps internally, wallet extension, and playground. I partnered with dApps like Orderly to integrate cross-shard functionality and worked with network service providers including oracles, indexers, and RPC providers to connect their infrastructure to the protocol.
I represented the project at major industry events, presenting technical workshops at ETH CC, Devconnect Thailand, and other conferences to drive developer adoption
Polygon Edge (Go)
Position: Senior Blockchain Protocol Engineer
As a Senior Blockchain Protocol Engineer at Polygon Edge, I contributed to building an open-source modular framework for launching EVM-compatible networks. Unlike Ethereum clients or GETH forks, Polygon Edge required building core EVM modules from scratch. I worked across the entire stack including jsonrpc, consensus, mempool, syncer, engine, state, and network modules. My most significant contribution was designing a new node syncing protocol that reduced GRPC calls needed to sync 1M blocks from ~10,500 to 2, cutting sync time by ~10 minutes. I added support for multiple consensus protocols (PoA, PoS) and signing algorithms (BLS, ECDSA), enabling greater flexibility for network operators. I led technical meetings with 30+ Polygon Edge clients and took initiative in improving documentation and onboarding materials to drive product adoption
Lava Network (Go/Typescript)
Position: Senior Protocol Engineer
As a Senior Protocol Engineer at Lava Network, I contributed to the development and maintenance of the Lava protocol, a decentralized RPC infrastructure. I implemented consumer strategies allowing users to customize preferences for speed, accuracy, or balanced approaches when accessing blockchain networks. I led the development of the Lava-SDK TypeScript library, conducting comprehensive codebase audits and implementing resolutions for potential issues. I refactored Lava providers to support multiple networks and API interfaces simultaneously, significantly improving provider efficiency. I enabled the SDK to function across both browser and node environments using grpc-web for provider communication. I developed the Lava Ethers Provider, an ethers.js-compatible provider that enabled existing dApps to gain decentralized access benefits without requiring architectural changes
Embroker (Go/React)
Position: Full Stack Engineer
As a Full Stack Engineer at Embroker, I worked across the entire stack, developing both frontend features in React and backend services in Go for the insurance platform. I developed strategies to reduce client-facing issues, improving overall system reliability. I implemented AWS Lambda services to enhance the platform's scalability and performance. I also mentored software engineer interns, helping them develop their technical skills and integrate into the team
