About Me

Summary

I'm a senior web and mobile app developer with vast experience in building apps for various industries. I tend to work with everything related to app development. My primary focus is on web development, with mobile development as my second. If you're interested in what I've done and what I know, You can check out my works page or my skills page.

Humble Journey

  • (Early 2000s)Since I was a kid, computers and electronics started to have my vast interest. (My mother loved to make a joke about my tinkering and reverse engineering of various devices: "You're always making two non-functional devices from one fully functional.")
  • (2008)Learned about the basic principles of Algorithms and Encoding, and I've made some of my first C++/C# projects.
  • (2011)Followed the path of electrical engineering, and I went to Electrical Engineering High School Nikola Tesla in Belgrade.
  • (2012)Had the first contact with Frontend Development and those times were great. Those were the years where only jQuery and PHP were mainly used. Learned about SEO, jQuery and basic principles of Design. I made a couple of SEO optimized websites here and there and I decided that I want to be in the IT world, beacuse I saw my potential for growth in that branch.
  • (2014)Started my path towards my Bachelors Degree and I enrolled in The School of Electrical Engineering, which belongs to Belgrade University. I mainly focused on Python, LaTeX, Matlab and learned more about electronics, physics and programming.
  • (2018) Published my first mobile app. Got some first serious projects and responsibilities, and later started my freelancing path successfully as a Shopify Developer for one successful German e-commerce website.
  • (2019 - now)I saw potential in K7Tech Agency and wanted to be a part of its growth, so I joined the team as a Frontend Developer looking for growth and knowledge. I have worked on several web and mobile projects based on react and react native. Apart from that, I've also had many other responsibilities, which make up a strong portfolio.

What a ride, huh?

My Projects


► 2023 update

I'll be honest with you - I cannot find time to update this in the way I want it to look. So with that in mind, you'll see some of my projects from 2020 and earlier. Since 2020 I've been working on various web and cross-platform projects. (I promise you, I'll update this when I find some free time. Or you can ask me via some of the links I've added on the "Contact" page 😉 )


► Web & Mobile

I have participated as a developer or/and manager in several web and mobile projects. For web I've participated on MERN stack based projects (ReactJS, NextJS, GatsbyJS, NestJS, ExpressJS etc...), and for the Mobile I've used React Native and Java Android mostly. Some are published, some are not, and I've used a lot of Libraries & APIs in them (Full list on skills page). You can see some of them below.

Mediaset Platform

Over the course of approximately 6 months I collaborated with several developers on integrating new features into the already existing and live platform. It had already been live and has had a huge user base in Italy (19.6 million unique users per month, and 225 million page views per month) which makes this the biggest platform I've worked on in 2020. I was included in daily standups, communication with the whole team and all my responsibilities and tasks were well defined on Jira and Confluence. The codebase was initially a bit outdated and it used some obsolete standards and functions, so alongside creating and implementing new features a lot of refactoring was done.

TrainedIn Platform

TrainedIn was one of the most significant MERN stack projects I've ever taken part in. I had the responsibility of delivering a fully functional platform that was fully responsive on all devices. TrainedIn is a web-based platform for connecting training providers with consumers interested in enrolling into courses or applying for teaching jobs. I've decided to go with ReactJS, Redux and Bootstrap libraries as core libraries for this platform. Over the course of three months and a half months, I followed the Agile Scrum Methodology of development and delivered frontend part of platform successfully.

UpTask

UpTask is a web and mobile platform intended for use by managers to help organize their staff. The features this ​web app​ offers are created in great detail to help managers have full control over the workload and employees. I've used ReactJS for frontend development, as well as some specific libraries like "react-beautiful-dnd" for creating easier task management system and tools like Mapbox for tracking users on map in real-time.

UpTask is a localized management tool that cuts down paperwork and helps your team be more efficient

EyeRate App

The client needed a new MERN Stack Application that will have functionalities as the already existing iOS App that was outsourced to another group of freelancers. My responsibilities for this project are making a full UI/UX optimized app that communicates and displays the data fetched from the backend. This App is entirely made out of ReactJS and ReduxJS. The target audience for this App is business owners who are looking to improve their business through communication with their clients and seeing their reviews and responses throughout the App. This App communicates with the REST backend, which is returning JSON data format that App uses for visualizing data to the business owner. Some of the main features are sending messages through Twilio API services, visualization of data, authorization, changing profile info such as email, password, and avatar. This project is currently published on the AWS EC2 instance.

Client Review:

"Milutin did everything perfectly. He went above and beyond actually. I have recommended him to other people and will continue to do so!"

► Websites & Blogs

lostenthought blog

The client already had a blog built with GhostCMS, and she wanted to improve it with some changes and customization. I've never done anything with GhostCMS, but since I know my way around in JS-based Tools and Frameworks, I adapted very quickly. I made Handlebars template improvement, created a whole new newsletter via ConvertKit, which I injected into one of the templates. Also, I did some customization of styling and significant UX improvements. The client was satisfied with my work, so we continued cooperation on another more substantial project.

Client Review:

"Working with Milutin has been an absolute breeze. The communication is always super smooth and super pleasant. Always great vibes. He just gets it really quick and is able to execute with high quality. Even if it is something he has never done before, he will just learn everything about it and make it happen. I have so much trust in this guy. The only reason I am ending this contract, is to start a new one with him! Couldn't recommend this guy enough"

► K7Tech Website

As a frontend developer, I have multiple tasks, mostly consisting of creating new pages and reworking old sections of the website. The website was already published, and I inherited total responsibility for its development. I strive for significant improvements, whether it's design, performance, or Search Engine Optimization. New pages are made from mockups that I get delivered from the designer in. PSD or .XD file type. The whole website is going through the process of SEO, and all the stats and analytics are monitored by me. Pages are created with Boostrap and JS Libraries, and You can see some live examples down below:

► Shopify

I see a big opportunity in the eCommerce world as people tend more and more to buy things online. I love working with the Shopify platform, especially when I get access to analytics because I can see how my work impact the sales or number of visitors grow over time. For Shopify owners, I did a full spectrum of web developer stuff. I've redesigned and designed pages and sections. I did a complete Search Engine Optimization, including JSON-LD tags of a store with 1000+ products. Added some of the new features with Liquid (Ruby on Rails-based language made for Shopify Platform.) Configuration of various add-ons and installing new. I've worked on several Shopify stores, but I'll present just one.

My client was a creative thinker with many ideas which I all successfully implemented in a short period. I loved working on this project for 2 reasons. My work had to be perfect and the fact that I could see the impact of my work. The first one is maybe confusing, but my client had an understanding of how long it can take to make things look perfect, and I loved that. I worked on the redesign, Search Engine Optimization, implementation of new features on this Shopify store, and much more. One of the things that I'm proud of is this SEO performance stat:seo stats google search console resultsYou can notice the growth in clicks and impressions over time since I joined them. That growth is still rising.
