Good evening!

I'm Milko, a creative fullstack engineer.

About

Here's a quick intro about me and what I love to do

My programming origins

My journey began with mobile development after the first iPad inspired me to start creating apps. I taught myself iOS and Android development while freelancing, then expanded into React Native as the mobile ecosystem evolved. Building cross-platform apps helped me develop a strong product mindset and a deep appreciation for polished, user-focused experiences.

Finding My Way to Web

The web eventually pulled me in, and React became a major turning point in my career. At SAP, I built enterprise software features for business applications, internal workflows, and data-driven systems. That experience helped me grow beyond UI development and gave me a stronger foundation in APIs, backend logic, integrations, testing, and scalable application architecture.

Growth Through Challenge

Like many people, the COVID years changed how I viewed work, life, and growth. During that time, while working at DraftKings Inc., I used the season to go deeper into new technologies, build side projects, and expand beyond mobile and frontend development. I explored full-stack architecture, backend systems, cloud tools, and eventually AI-powered applications. What started as a difficult period became a turning point that made me a more adaptable engineer, stronger problem solver, and lifelong learner.

These Days

Today, I work as a Senior Frontend Engineer and AI Application Developer, building modern web, full-stack, and AI-powered product experiences with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python, AWS, Claude, and LLM APIs. I enjoy creating dashboards, admin tools, internal workflows, reusable component systems, and AI agent workflows that help automate tasks and improve productivity. My journey continues to be driven by curiosity, creativity, and a passion for turning complex problems into simple, useful products.
