Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolZarko Milosevic is a distributed-systems researcher and technology leader with eight years of industry experience and a PhD from EPFL focused on fault-tolerant replication. As CTO and former Chief Scientist at Informal Systems, and a senior researcher on Tendermint and Cosmos while at Interchain Foundation, he blends deep theoretical insight with hands-on engineering for resilient blockchain and distributed infrastructure. He started in applied software roles (Scala, Akka, Spring) and has taught as an assistant professor, giving him a rare mix of research rigor, production-grade development, and mentorship. Based in Switzerland, he’s known for translating Byzantine-fault-tolerant protocols into practical systems and for steering product and research strategy at the intersection of consensus protocols and real-world deployments. An understated detail: his career trajectory moves steadily from building network-monitoring tools and enterprise middleware to shaping core consensus engines that power interoperable blockchain ecosystems.
