- 1994: Fifth grade; I am charged with editing the school newspaper. There is an Intel 386 PC at home that is about to be upgraded to a 486 and do something more than run Lands of Lore.
- 1996: Seventh grade; I typeset a book of poems1. The school newspaper becomes the school magazine — in layout only; the publishing schedule remains haphazard — as I upgrade from Word 6.0 to QuarkXPress
- 2000: High school starts again after a freshman year interrupted by NATO bombing. I make the town library’s official website. It is a php hack job laid out in tables instead of the newfangled and to me unknown CSS; it still wins an award.
- 2002-2008: Med school; I typeset a book here and there and occasionally help out with the library website.
- 2009: Teaching assistant, Institute for histology and embryology, Belgrade School of Medicine.
- 2010: Resident, Internal medicine, JHU/Sinai, Baltimore MD.
- 2013: Chief resident, Internal medicine, as above; I understand the benefits of not being invited to a meeting.
- 2014: Clinical fellow, hematology/oncology, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda MD.
- 2016: As above, but also Chief fellow ex tempore for the joint NCI/NHLBI fellowship; my hatred of poorly-run meetings intensifies.
- 2017: Staff clinician, later to be renamed Assistant research physician, Clinical Trials Team, Lymphoid Malignancies Branch, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda MD; the 1994 me marvels at the word salad trailing the title.
- 2021: Chief Medical Officer, Cartesian Therapeutics.
