Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMilan Miladinovic is a software engineer with a decade of experience building low-level, high-performance systems for the web, currently working on the Cloudflare Workers JavaScript/Wasm runtime and Durable Objects. He focuses on networking primitives like WebSockets and HTTP, with notable contributions to WebSocket compression and permessage-deflate negotiation both in Cloudflare’s workerd and the widely used Cap’n Proto C++ serialization/RPC project. Milan combines rigorous academic training in math and CS from the University of Toronto with hands-on systems programming, contributing API design, refactors, and tests that improve compatibility and maintainability. Based in Toronto, he brings a pragmatic engineer’s mindset to stateful serverless computing and runtime internals, quietly improving developer-facing features that power large-scale edge applications.
