He has been interested in sports and writing since childhood. The first time he wrote something that was published was in January 2003 at the age of ten when he wrote (using his Serbian nickname Djuka) a funny caption which was published on the Sacramento Kings website. A highlight of his childhood is when SLAM Magazine published his letter to the editor in issue 97 (May 2006) and issue 103 (December 2006).

​In October 2006, his article on Canadian Soccer League club Serbian White Eagles FC was published. In February 2007, he won a contest for best basketball article with his article on the new NBA ball which was commissioned that season. In August 2007, his letter to the editor in regards to the 2007 Rogers Cup final was published by the Toronto Sun.

From February 2012 to August 2018, he wrote for Canadian soccer magazine RedNation Online where he was responsible for interviews and special features, interviewing Srdjan Djekanovic, Milos Kocic, Quillan Roberts, Veljko Paunovic, Andres Arango, Mike Bakic, Thomas Rongen, Brian Edwards, Dave Simpson, Marc Dos Santos, Stefan Cebara, Andrea Lombardo, Nikola Paunic, Milan Beader, Stefan Vukovic, Miodrag Jesic, Stephen Ademolu, Frank Jonke, Sinisa Ubiparipovic, Zoran Kokot, Andrew Wiedeman, Brad Beaumont, Eric Hassli, Gabe Gala, Milovan Kapor and Derek Cornelius. He also took part in roundtable discussions on Toronto FC and the Canadian men's national team and wrote columns on the possibility of Dejan Stankovic joining Toronto FC and Milan Borjan joining Wigan Athletic.

Vujcic has been a member of the Canadian Association of Journalists and PEN Canada. He is fluent in English and Serbian (including both Serbian scripts of Latin and Cyrillic).

In May 2020, he began hosting The Urban Book Circle Show podcast on YouTube and Spotify.
