Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDarko Mijić is a seasoned product leader and technology generalist with over two decades of experience building developer-facing and consumer blockchain products from the ground up. He led the development and launch of the Daedalus full-node Cardano wallet and later scaled product initiatives across Polkadot ecosystems at Parity, blending hands-on JavaScript front-end work with strategic program and ecosystem management. As CPO at TVVIN he bridged traditional finance and DeFi by productizing tokenized LBMA-certified precious metals on Polkadot, emphasizing regulatory compliance and market adoption. Darko combines deep technical fluency in blockchain, WebAssembly smart contracts, and AI-driven tooling with strong UX sensibilities and agile delivery practices. He thrives at the intersection of community engagement, data-driven product decisions, and cross-functional engineering coordination, often surfacing niche technical improvements (e.g., internationalization and decorators in Daedalus) that materially boost adoption. Based in Berlin, he excels in roles that require both hands-on engineering judgment and strategic product leadership.
