Ivan Pavičić is a versatile software engineer and founder with 11 years of experience blending hands-on development, engineering leadership, and product/project management across fintech, blockchain, and enterprise systems. Based in Oregon and originally from Croatia, he has led multi-team open-source efforts for Starknet—contributing notable RPC and transaction improvements to the widely used starknet.js library—while also managing engineering teams and driving integrations like ChainLink on Starknet. As founder of UpO Consulting he advises on software engineering, product and business development, and his background spans full-stack work, large-scale backend systems, and developer tooling. He has a track record of scaling features that materially impacted business metrics (e.g., 10x sportsbook bonus scaling) and mentoring new engineers through academic and community programs. Known for a curious, wide-ranging skillset (“approximate knowledge of many things”), Ivan combines pragmatic delivery with ecosystem-level thinking in blockchain developer tooling.
