I've been obsessed with technology for as long as I can remember. Nokia phones and Windows XP were sort of my childhood. Then came gaming, MMORPGs in particular, which is where I learned a lot of my English. That helped me later in my career.
That obsession followed me to high school, when I was aiming for a CS degree, but life pointed me to Applied Arts instead, where I got to be a graphic designer and handle computers in different ways.
I started as a generalist, learning the fundamentals across every corner of design. Then, in 2020, the lockdown got me interested in user interface design. With my background in graphic design, I thought it would be an easy move, but it was just the start of something much bigger and more challenging.
That's when the English I learned from gaming finally paid off. In 2021, I started my first full-time job as a UI/UX designer at Reliant Technologies in New Jersey, USA. I found out that remote work really can work, and I've been remote ever since.
Now it's 2026 and I think we've reached the age of the Design Engineer. Design and production shouldn't be two different species. When a designer steps into the front-end, writing the HTML and CSS themselves, every pixel lines up on both sides of the handoff. That's the gap I want to close.
