Hello ✌️
I'm Miloš

After high school, I began my career as a web developer, where I stayed for one year. During this time, I created over 100 simple HTML and CSS websites based on provided designs and developed up to 15 WordPress websites—some with custom themes and others using purchased templates. After a year, I realized I was not progressing and needed new challenges to continue growing.

In March 2018, thanks to a former colleague, I secured a new job that allowed me to explore new technologies. I delved into the world of JavaScript and PHP, learning a great deal by building a mobile web app in PHP and a website with a custom backend. However, after a year, the lack of new projects led me to feel stagnant once again.

Determined to advance my skills, I started studying ReactJS in my free time and fell in love with JavaScript and React. A colleague and I decided to build a flight booking engine, which led me to learn AngularJS. I built the entire booking system with online payment in AngularJS but later realized that ReactJS was a better fit for my interests, so I rebuilt the system using ReactJS.

In April 2019, I accepted a job offer that enabled me to focus on personal growth and development. During my time at this company, I evolved significantly as a developer, embracing the mindset of a Full Stack Developer. I immersed myself in various technologies such as Laravel, Vue.js, and NativeScript for app development.

In June 2022, I made the difficult decision to leave my position at Morph Networks, where I had been working since 2019. Grateful for the experiences and growth opportunities, I felt it was time for a new challenge and took some time to reflect on my next steps.

In October 2022, I relocated to Reykjavik, Iceland, embracing an exciting new chapter in my life. I started a new position at Sidekick Health as a Senior Web Developer, specializing in TypeScript and ReactJS. The move was both thrilling and daunting, but I was eager to grow both personally and professionally.

In 2023, I took another significant step by enrolling in a Bachelor of Science program in Computer Science at Reykjavik University. Currently, in 2024, I am in my second year (third semester), where I’ve significantly enhanced my Python skills through various university projects that extensively use Python.

At work, I expanded my expertise by contributing to the backend using Java and writing end-to-end tests in Cypress to improve the quality of the portal we are developing. We transitioned from a RESTful API to GraphQL, further broadening my skill set. I also introduced the React Query library to our frontend stack, which drastically improved our software’s performance and reliability.

In 2024, I embarked on an exciting project: developing an Android and iOS app from scratch for a trucking company. The app functions as a navigation tool, allowing users to track trucks, manage loads and unloads, view and add stops, handle border crossings, and input bills during shipments. Through this project, I honed my skills in React Native, adding mobile app development to my repertoire.

My journey has been an incredible rollercoaster of learning and self-discovery. From a self-taught Full Stack Developer in Serbia to a Senior Web Developer and Computer Science student in Iceland, I have continuously sought opportunities to grow and challenge myself. These experiences have shaped me both personally and professionally, and I’m excited to see where the future takes me.
