Elvis Sabanovic

As a senior software engineer in AdTech, I am developing, maintaining, architecting and continuously improving the core bidding platform. My responsibilities include:

• Crafting scalable software to handle over 100K requests per second
• Ensuring high reliability and resilience, supporting a ~$200K monthly spend
• Proactively identified and resolved a critical collaboration issue between the machine-learning and core teams, taking full ownership from design to implementation

Results:

• Reduced the time to ship a AI model from 3 weeks to 3 hours
• Developed an inference platform that standardizes testing, deployment, and shipping of AI models, meeting and exceeding functional requirements at >100K requests per second under 5ms response time

Architected and implemented a sustainable, decentralized, fast, and secure distributed system for truth validation in knowledge graphs through decentralized, integrity-preserving voting.

• Conceived, architected, and implemented a unique protocol specification named 'Blind-Voting' by synthesizing ideas from various cryptography research papers
• Tackled critical challenges in scalability, cost, decentralization, privacy, system integrity, and anti-gaming using advanced cryptographic primitives
• Architected a system for verifiable and cost-effective off-chain computation
• Employed hybrid and threshold cryptography to securely encrypt and distribute secrets among oracles
• Developed cost estimates and project specifications for proposals

Results:

• Developed a decentralized system with robust vote integrity and resistance to tampering
• Created a cost-efficient on-chain rewarding system using Merkle trees, enabling participants to claim rewards easily, significantly enhancing UX, and improving protocol maintainability
• Fostered trust and ensured system decentralization

Frontend

• Led the refactoring of legacy code, implemented comprehensive testing, and optimized the codebase, reducing application execution time from 3 seconds to less than 1 second
• Designed new coding standards, established clear separations of concerns, and decoupled logic, creating a solid foundation for new features, enhanced stability, and faster execution

Backend - CelsiusX

• Played multiple roles, including engineering, research, and architecture, requiring adaptability, rapid learning, and problem-solving
• Architected and implemented infrastructure to seamlessly bridge CeFi and DeFi, including the development of:

- Client-side applications, including mobile

- Backend systems

- Blockchain integration

• Designed and led the R&D of CelsiusX wrapped tokens on the Terra blockchain, leveraging CosmWasm (Rust) for secure and scalable implementation
