I'm a software developer who's passionate about a lot of things! I have a broad range of interests that includes computer science, math, people, and products. Always be learning. ✌️
In 2008 I was 12 years old and I was in one IT magazine group on Facebook and some guy posted a video about a game he was developing. I jumped to comments and asked him everything about it. I ended up learning Python and Pygame and developing some text-based games and simple games in Pygame but I was always terrible at math so I didn't come a long way with my game dev career, but during next few years until 2014 I ended up going through C++, C#, Java, Unity, PHP, Ruby on Rails, etc... Basically just exploring languages and doing simple stuff not knowing which filed to pick up because I was really excited and overwhelmed with everything.
In 2014 (I ended my 3rd year in high school) I ended up getting an internship over the summer in the first Croatian Y-Combinator founded startup and I decided I will pick up front-end development because I loved programming and design.
That internship went well for me and I decided I don't want to go to college anymore.
During the final year I ended up picking up a few freelance projects in Angular and Ionic and saved some money for an apartment and I moved to Zagreb and I got a job as Front-End Developer where I stayed for almost 2 years and last summer I got a new job as Senior JavaScript developer where I currently work. Being "Senior" can be interpreted in a lot of ways and it differs among companies. Basically, I can do good technical decisions, work on my own and teach other people and I love doing it.
So I would say that I'm programming for about 10 years. But 4 years in a specific field. :)
