Highlights

eversign GmbH (acquired by Apryse)

Driving growth and structure in a fast-scaling SaaS startup

eversign GmbH (acquired by Apryse)

Problem
  • Fast-growing startup needed rapid feature delivery to outpace competitors while lacking capacity for formal frameworks, requiring quick wins that balanced growth with scalable processes.

Action
  • Streamlined async cross-team communication, enabling alignment across C-level, sales, marketing, customer support, and finance.

  • Reshaped engineering workflows by introducing a risk repository, ad-hoc security triaging, and pioneering technical support procedures, developer deployment and release guidelines across engineering and support teams.

  • Collaborated with CFO to define and track KPIs, introducing BI visibility into product growth and operational performance.

Impact
  • Drove multi-year revenue growth across both SMB and enterprise customers by delivering enterprise-grade features such as Bulk Sending, MFA, and Device Verification.

  • Scaled adoption of an in-house BI system, giving leadership real-time visibility into MRR, churn, and product performance.

  • Elevated customer confidence and reinforced enterprise credibility by improving security posture and compliance maturity.

  • The revenue growth, subscription expansion, and data visibility achieved through these initiatives were significant factors in positioning eversign for acquisition by Apryse.

TimeTac GmbH

Building enterprise integration team and platform

TimeTac GmbH

Problem
  • Missed opportunities and slowed revenue growth due to lack of enterprise-grade integrations and inability to quickly adapt to customer requirements.

Action
  • Architected an event-driven framework enabling reusable vertical and horizontal integrations.

  • Designed a single integration platform addressing needs of SMEs through to large enterprise customers.

  • Built and managed a new cross-functional integration team. Interviewed 30+ candidates, hired and mentored 3 engineers, and developed one into a promoted successor team lead.

  • Collaborated closely with C-level executives, sales and marketing to align the integration strategy with business growth goals.

Impact
  • Delivered 20+ enterprise-grade integrations, equipping sales with the technical foundation to close deals and expand enterprise accounts with thousands of licenses.

  • Automated in-house payment processing and public API generation, cutting operational overhead and freeing up engineering capacity.

  • Optimized delivery cycles from weeks to days, accelerating customer onboarding and speeding revenue realization.

Xodo by Apryse

Unifying identity architecture post-acquisition

Xodo by Apryse

Problem
  • Post-merger technical debt from fragmented identity systems was stalling product synergies, hindering cross-sell strategies, and creating churn risk.

Action
  • Directed cross-functional technical due diligence, aligning with executive priorities, uncovering interoperability risks, and taking ownership of defining the unified target architecture.

  • Spearheaded the introduction of new authentication methods through a unified identity provider, unblocking the company’s strategic mobile app initiative and aligning with product leadership goals.

  • Owned the standardization and strengthening of identity security, unifying authentication policies across products, improving account retention, and reporting progress directly into compliance and leadership structures.

Impact
  • Unified identity across 2 acquired product lines and their web and mobile engineering teams. Enabled the entire customer base to seamlessly access multiple products with a unified identity, opening new revenue streams through product bundling and upsell pathways.

  • Supported mobile teams in a new mobile application launch, creating additional acquisition funnels and expanding market reach.

  • Brought forward milestones for SOC 2 Type I and II certification, elevating customer confidence and enabling enterprise onboarding.

  • Embedded compliance-by-design into identity and data policies, reducing regulatory risk exposure and simplifying operational processes.

  • Codified best practices into an organizational playbook for future identity integrations in acquisitions.

Agency for Information Society RS (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Establishing a national certificate authority and strengthening eGovernment services

Agency for Information Society RS (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Problem
  • Government ministries and citizens lacked secure, scalable certificate services, limiting adoption of eGovernment initiatives and reducing trust in digital infrastructure.

Action
  • Orchestrated vendors and in-house development team to deliver a government-wide certificate authority service for issuing qualified electronic certificates.

  • Provided technical revision across 5–10 ICT projects annually for other ministries, advising on architecture, procurement, and risk management.

  • Participated in inter-ministerial working groups to introduce new processes for security, auditing, and compliance.

Impact
  • Successfully launched a government-recognized certificate authority service, pioneering the use of qualified digital signatures across ministries.

  • Raised audit readiness and institutionalized security standards across government IT projects, reinforcing national digital trust.

  • Increased success rates of cross-ministry ICT projects through independent technical revision and risk assessment.

  • Gained early leadership experience by coordinating vendors, development teams, and government stakeholders in complex multi-party initiatives.

About Me

Milan Latinovic profile picture

I design and scale software systems that balance resilience, security, and cost efficiency.

My career began with digital government services, where I gained early leadership experience guiding engineering and support teams. At TimeTac, I built and grew my first team and integration framework, acquired strong requirements engineering skills, developed pre- and post-sales skills, and became product-minded and profit-oriented while leading enterprise integrations. Joining eversign gave me a taste of fast-paced startup life. Full ownership, rapid growth, and tough trade-offs. Our team efforts there culminated in a successful acquisition by Apryse. Today, as part of the core team shaping XodoSign (formerly eversign, now part of the Xodo product suite under Apryse), I focus on scaleup-to-enterprise challenges: asynchronous cross-team collaboration, multi-timezone communication, multi-level technical management, and managing cross-product dependencies and risks.

Along the way I have created frameworks that save hundreds of hours monthly, shipped high-impact features like Device Verification, Document Signer MFA, and Automated Bulk Sending, and partnered with executives on strategy and BI systems. My side research on automation in sofotware engineering and authorization management has been published at IEEE and HICSS conferences.

Outside of work, I’m a husband and a father of a wonderful daughter who teaches me patience and perspective every day.

What Others Say

Adrian Gligor

"Milan is a one-man department all by himself.

We worked together for 3 years at eversign, delivering several different projects of varying complexity. What stood out most to me was Milan's ability to take an idea and loose requirements, and deliver a polished, production-ready feature. He wrote specifications by identifying relevant stake holders and audiences, communicating with them and balancing technical and social aspects. He architected, implemented and tested features, either alone or in a team. He defined rollout plans, delivered the feature to customers, and kept monitoring relevant KPIs and delivering fixes until the feature fulfilled success metrics. He didn't tolerate bugs, or slow or wasteful code.

He also made sure never to neglect our Slack workspace's meme channel 😉.

It's hard to imagine Milan not being a top asset to any team. He has my warmest recommendation!"
