For more than 15 years, ski jumping taught me discipline, patience, resilience, consistency, and how to set goals and pursue them relentlessly. I competed across Europe in FIS Cup and Alpen Cup competitions, setting my personal best of 193 meters in Planica in 2017.

But professional ski jumping is a difficult path without sponsorships or elite-level results. So I made a tough but important decision: to pivot toward technology.

I studied Informatics Engineering, completed Harvard’s CS50, built my diploma game in Unity, and began working in IT—from QA and frontend development to my current role at Comtrade Gaming, where I develop casino-style games in Godot and GDScript.

Along the way, I worked as a salesperson, learned massage therapy, coached ski jumping, and kept myself grounded in physical fitness. These experiences taught me grit and humility — qualities I now carry into my career and entrepreneurial goals.
