Skills
I'm a certified cloud engineer with 15+ years of experience architecting and implementing web applications.
I've written production code in more than 5 languages but these days it's mostly TypeScript, JavaScript, Python. I've used both SQL and NoSQL databases.
I've been a solution architect and lead developer for the past 8 years, delivering projects in a range of different architectures - from monoliths to microservices, from on premise to cloud, and now serverless.
I'm also an experienced DevOps Engineer who can design and manage your cloud infrastructure efficiently. I'm highly skilled in web application architectures, infrastructure provisioning, data pipelines, deployment and testing automation.
Here's what some of my clients had to say about me:
- Milan is a top-tier senior software architect and problem-solver who is gifted both for developing cloud services and in applying emerging technologies to hard problems.
- Milan provided senior leadership and cross-training with the existing programming team, such that new technologies could be maintained, extended, and used as ideas when we develop new services. - - Milan delivered beyond expectations. We would absolutely take Milan back on our team, and anyone with complex technical problems should absolutely consider him for their team
- Milan is highly talented, a great communicator, and push through complex problems, even in new domains. I give him my highest recommendation.
- His ability to quickly understand the problem, and then play a critical role in helping to both shape the solution, and to strip away the unnecessary to achieve our MVP objective was of tremendous value to us.
- Milan showed his leadership capabilities by going above and beyond to ensure clarity and productivity for the entire team
- His leadership played a key role in helping us achieve this positive outcome in such a short period of time.
- After working with contract engineers for the past 30 years, I have learned there are two core attributes that are critical to a successful engagement – strong technical knowledge and judgement coupled with an open, humble and engaging personality. It is indeed rare to find both and I feel as though I won the jackpot having been connected to Milan.
Working as a consultant in the past two years, I have audited, monitored and debugged cloud-based applications, solved scalability, reliability and performance problems, implemented security controls and compliance requirements, and built secure and reliable applications in cloud environments.
Last two years I’ve been consulting/freelancing, working for international clients in various roles - programmer, DevOps engineer, CTO. You can find my up-to-date profile at https://www.toptal.com/resume/milan-simonovic
I hold a Masters in Computer science, AWS Solutions Architect - Associate and HashiCorp Terraform certifications (acquired April 2023).
