Marko Marinovic

About

I'm a software engineer and CTO of Blank. I help founders build secure, production-ready Web3 products-from smart contracts to full-stack dApps.

Background

Originally from Croatia, I've spent over a decade building software. My career started in traditional web development, but I became fascinated with blockchain technology during the early Ethereum days.

I dove deep into smart contracts, DeFi protocols, and decentralized systems. This led me to build NFT platforms,token launch infrastructure, and cross-chain DeFi solutions across multiple networks.

Today, I focus on helping founders navigate the technical complexity of Web3-whether that's designing secure smart contract architectures, building seamless dApp experiences, or scaling infrastructure for high-volume applications.

Philosophy

I believe speed and quality can coexist. Most of what I do is proving this-shipping production-ready products without accumulating technical debt.

I work with founders who want to move fast but refuse to compromise on security or quality. The best technical decisions are the ones that serve both the immediate need and the long-term vision.

“Ship fast, but ship right. The best code is the code that doesn't need to be rewritten.”

Beyond Work

Outside of work, I'm a trail runner and cyclist. Running teaches me lessons that code never could-about persistence, presence, and the value of showing up even when motivation fails.

I'm a proud girl dad and try to balance building the future of technology with being present for what matters most.

Let's Connect

Building something in Web3? I'm always open to discussing DeFi protocols, NFT projects, or smart contract architecture.
