About
A senior engineer who cares equally about systems, teams, and product quality.
My core strength is turning complexity into clarity. I am most effective where architecture matters, delivery speed matters, and the product experience still needs to feel deliberate rather than merely functional.
01
Architecture with operational empathy
I structure systems for scale and maintainability, but I keep the real workflow of the team and the business in view.
02
Backend depth with frontend sensitivity
I am comfortable leading API, data, and platform decisions while still caring about performance, polish, and interface clarity.
03
Leadership through ownership
I mentor, review, clarify direction, and raise the quality bar without introducing unnecessary process noise.
Experience
A trajectory built around delivery, modernization, and technical leadership.
Each role reinforced a different part of the same profile: architecture, reliability, modernization, mentoring, and product-aware execution.

Leadership & Teaching
Leadership is part of the work, not a separate layer on top of it.
I lead through clarity, coaching, and technical ownership. That shows up in product teams, student pipelines, final-module reviews, and the way I structure engineering work.
01
Weekend programming teaching in Ruse
I teach programming on weekends at the Vocational High School of Electronics and Electrical Engineering in Ruse, helping tenth-grade students grow into programming interns over a three-year path.
02
High-success mentoring pipeline
The program has a high success rate and focuses on practical growth, discipline, and long-term engineering habits rather than short-term theory.
03
SoftUni examiner and reviewer
I sometimes serve as an examiner and reviewer at SoftUni for final software development modules, which sharpens both my technical judgment and feedback quality.
04
Team Lead Academy with distinction
Completed the SoftUni Team Lead Academy successfully with distinction while leading a 10-person team.
Skills / Tech Stack
Breadth where it helps. Depth where it matters.
I work comfortably across the stack, but my strongest leverage comes from backend architecture, modernization strategy, and the delivery systems around them.

Engineering Philosophy
Practical engineering values that scale beyond the code itself.
My approach is simple: build systems that stay understandable, make delivery smoother, and create enough structure for teams to move with confidence.
01
Clarity over noise
The best systems are easier to reason about, easier to extend, and easier for the next engineer to trust.
02
Quality that keeps delivery moving
Speed matters, but it has to be the kind of speed that reduces rework rather than creating more of it later.
03
Modernization without theatre
I modernize systems where it genuinely improves maintainability, scalability, and product quality, not because a rewrite sounds exciting.
04
Leadership through ownership
Teams move better when technical direction is clear, trade-offs are explicit, and somebody is willing to carry responsibility end to end.
What I'm Working On Now
Current focus across platform work, product building, and mentoring.
The themes are consistent: better architecture, better delivery systems, and better leverage through teaching and leadership.
01
BG6 platform evolution
Leading ongoing work on the BG6 multi-tenant SaaS platform, including architecture decisions, UI modernization, and cleaner delivery workflows.
02
Personal software systems
Continuing to build software for real business domains such as workshop management and transport company operations.
03
Teaching and mentoring
Investing time in the student pipeline in Ruse and in review-oriented mentorship through technical feedback.
04
Growing as a technical leader
Deepening the leadership side of engineering: clearer architecture decisions, stronger team guidance, and more leverage through communication.
Beyond Work
A technical profile with a very human center of gravity.
The things outside engineering still shape the way I work: patience, discipline, craft, curiosity, and a long-term perspective.
01
Aviation and flight simulation
I am passionate about aviation and spend time flying with a home simulator, which says a lot about how much I enjoy systems, precision, and calm decision-making.
02
Family, nature, and two golden retrievers
Some of the best time away from the keyboard is spent outdoors with my daughter, my wife, and our two golden retrievers.
03
Music and Bulgarian folk instruments
I play many instruments, especially Bulgarian folk instruments such as tupan, gaida, accordion, guitar, and clarinet.
