👋 About Me

Hi there! I'm Miljan Ilić, a software engineer currently based in Belgrade, Serbia.

I've spent the last seven years building various systems, from real-time blockchain data pipelines to marketplace platforms with tricky search and payment features. Most of my work has focused on data-intensive backends, though I've also explored the world of machine learning. Looking back, the thing that motivates me the most is actually solving tough challenges and making a visible impact on the customers.

At Decenter, I worked a lot with blockchain data pipelines and was part of the teams that developed DeFi Explore and DeFi Saver. Before that, I spent a few years at FishingBooker, a marketplace for booking fishing trips, where I jumped between customer-facing teams and also led some of the more complex domains, such as Payments.

On the side, I've been exploring transformer-based models and joined a small team working on ManiApp, a personal finance app, where I focused on training models that enable customers to gain personalized financial insights.

Outside of work, I tinker with embedded electronics and fly cool remote-controlled models I've built.

And, that's me. I'll be sharing some of my stories here and hope to connect with people who share the same interests.
