Dominik graduated from the University of Southern California in 2002 with a degree in Computer Science. Immediately after graduating he was offered the position of Web Developer for ISI. During his first four years of employment he developed ISI's first online news web application, represented ISI in the USC web council, and administered and maintained ISI's first web content management system.

In 2006 he moved to Washington state and continued to develop sites and systems within the ISI and USC web environments. In 2021, he became ISI's Lead Web Developer and has been tasked with broader web-related projects to help modernize ISI's web infrastructure.

Dominik still resides in Washington state where he lives with his wife and two children. Dominik is an avid hiker, volunteers for the Pacific Crest Trail Association, and enjoys road trips to any National Park. Although he lives 1000 miles away from ISI headquarters, he will be making routine trips to ISI in Marina del Rey throughout the year.
