Who am I?
I'm a frontend developer with a love for design, currently based in Varaždin, Croatia. Passionate about making things that are both nice to use and nice to look at.
Currently working at Infinum as a WordPress Lead engineer, where I build custom block-based (Gutenberg) themes and work on the Eightshift DevKit.
In my free time I like checking what's new in tech while drinking coffee, relaxing with some Supermarket simulator (or a similarly random game), working on random projects (3D printing is fun), and traveling when the time allows.
