What I Do I am currently a Principal Product Manager on the Oracle Application User Experience Platform Design Engineering team, helping implement Redwood, the next generation user experience design system and visualizations across Oracle Fusion applications.
Why Engineering? I originally chose engineering because I was very interested in how users interact with computers and building user interfaces that meet user goals.
School Days I grew up in Belgrade, Serbia. After graduating from math and computer science focused high school in Serbia, I moved to England where I completed Bachelors in Computer Science at the University of Southampton, England. After graduating form college, I moved to US to attend graduate school, and received a Master of Science in Computer Science at Northwestern University, IL.
My Day At Work In my current role, I work with designers and developers to build components for the Redwood Application Platform, and work with other teams within Oracle to gather requirements for new projects/components and features.
Best Part I love being able to quickly put together demos of our technology and explain the value of Redwood user experience to our internal and external customers.
My Family I am married and have two boys, ages 14 and 17, who I am also hoping will be inspired to be engineers.
Want to be an Engineer? It is a great time to be a woman in Engineering - it is exciting to be at the fore front of innovation in technology. With today's options to work remotely it is much more possible to balance a successful career with a family and maintain a work-life balance.
Hobbies In my spare time I enjoy traveling, especially to Serbia and Croatia to visit family, as well as reading, listening to music, going to concerts and art museums, and spending time with my family and friends.
