My academic and professional foundation was shaped at California State University, Bakersfield, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. Alongside my studies, I competed as a Division I and professional swimmer, representing Croatia at World and European Championships, qualifying for multiple semi-finals, breaking national and school records, and achieving top-three finishes at U.S. College Nationals.

The discipline, dedication, and competitive drive I developed through elite athletics now fuel my work as a UX/UI and front-end developer. Swimming taught me that excellence is built through consistent practice, attention to detail, and the courage to push boundaries.

Based in New York, I hold a Computer Science degree from Cal State Bakersfield and have completed the GOOGLE UX Design Professional Certificate. I combine technical expertise with creative vision to design intuitive, user-centered digital experiences. My curiosity drives innovation, my athletic background brings discipline, and my passion for design helps create products that truly resonate.
