Je travaille en freelance comme lead UX designer, psychologue depuis le dernier millénaire. Mon parcours m’a permis de travailler sur des sujets variés allant du WAP à la télévision, en passant par, le web, le e-commerce et les applications professionnelles ou le design de service. Ma vision de l’expérience utilisateur repose sur deux démarches complémentaires, l’une pragmatique autour de la conception de services et l’autre stratégique autour de l’évolution des organisations et l’intégration du design au sein des équipes.

Je travaille depuis 2020 pour beta.gouv.fr toujours en freelance afin d’essayer d’améliorer les services publics avec l’intention de changer le monde, de le rendre meilleur et de limiter la crise climatique qui arrive, mais avant ça il faut que je pense à faire du pain et bien d’autres choses plus ou moins futile comme un potager, du miel et du cidre.

Odrastao je u obitelji strastvenih radioamatera i elektrotehničara, što je u njemu zapalilo ljubav prema tehnologiji za cijeli život. Njegovo zanimanje za svemir dovelo ga je do toga da preuzme vodstvo Astronomskog društva "Orion" u rodnom Đakovu. Kao izvrstan promotor ne samo svemirskih tema nego i tehničke kulture općenito, proglašen je nacionalnim koordinatorom Hrvatske za Svjetski tjedan svemira Ujedinjenih naroda. Tijekom proteklih pet godina organizirao je više od 500 predavanja i radionica u kojima je sudjelovalo tisuće mladih ljudi godišnje i pozicionirao Hrvatsku među prvih 5 zemalja u svijetu po sudjelovanju mladih u aktivnostima vezanim uz svemir. Za svoj rad dobio je Državnu nagradu za tehničku kulturu 2022. godine, a služi i kao član Upravnog odbora Hrvatskog astronomskog saveza.
Međunarodno priznat zbog svoje predanosti obrazovanju mladih o temama vezanim uz svemir, imenovan je glavnim tajnikom Adriatic Aerospace Association 2021., gdje predvodi nacionalne svemirske obrazovne projekte poput trenutnog projekta Cansat Rocketry.
