About me?

With a goal to help people - I share my knowledge and work on projects that would help people in various situations. Jack of all trades - I like to get my hands dirty. Improv comedy from time to time - Sometimes i may throw a joke In my free time I can be found reading, cooking, exercising, working on my hobbies, out with friends or playing video games. My hobbies make use of 3D modeling, graphics design and programming. I enjoy Strategy games and my all time favourites are the Warcraft, Starcraft and Age of Empires series.I'm not the sportiest of beings, but my bike begs to differ.Volleyball is my favourite sport I love music. It can calm your soul and set it ablaze. I like to listen to almost every genre. My goto is chill, jazz, piano. I love rock and metal.I have mixed in some techno, house, hardstyle in my playlists with a hint of rap. Here is how it all started: I have had a computer since the age of 5. I spent most of my childhood playing video games and they got me interested in developing some of my own. My curiosity led me to the world of programming. I first started playing around with Map Editors for various games (Warcraft 3, Starcraft, Oblivion). Later was introduced to C++ and the wonders of cin/cout. Participated in a few C++ Olympiads but did not get far. During my highschool I had a course in Visual Basic, with an awesome teacher - Emiliyan Kadiyski . He invited Svetlin Nakov to do a guest lecture and introduce Telerik Academy . I enlisted for the academy the next day. There I learned C# over intense 6 months. In involved a lot of different programming techniques, working in teams and solving many programming problems. This started my path to be a developer. Emiliyan also organized an entrepreneurship project called Team Pro - A company by students + mentors. It was an interesting blend between programming and business. There are I learned Ruby. As a result of this I have gone to multiple internships, used various technologies and have gone to study abroad in the Netherlands. My first Bachelor study is in ICT at Fontys University of Applied Sciences , Eindhoven. When I got there I tarted working at a local restaurant in the center, Umi Kaiseki as a dishwasher. The staff was awesome. Coming to Fontys I had a lot of experience and the first 2 years I did not learn new technologies, but practiced teamwork and skills. I found a lot of interesting people with ideas an unique personalities. During the 3rd year I had a minor in Virtual Reality and it was awesome. The first time I touched the HTC vive... We had a lot of projects and testing with users. It was a whole new challenge - Not only do you have to immerse the user, but you also have to make sure the application is able to run on the device My goal in life is to help people. As a developer you can create various solutions to solve a person's problem. This led me to start working at Studyportals , the google for studies. They help students find education internationally. I took part in helping students find their dream study as a Back-end developer, later a DevOps engineer. We ported the whole system from Windows to Linux and allowed easy development with a CI/CD piepline. The atmosphere in Studyportals is friendly, cheerful and open hearted. They are always improving and open to ideas. During the fourth year I took part in PROXY . It is Fonty's study association of the English stream. They help students feel more comfortable during their studies. The association is made by students for students. Members volunteer their time and work together to organize events, workshops and social gatherings (like BBQ :)) After graduating i moved to Vienna and started working as a Solutions Engineer for HUMAI . We worked closely with enterprise clients to deliver great experience to their market, by utilizing AI and Image Recognition. After working for 2 years in HUMAI i found DYNATRACE . They grabbed me with their NO-OPS approach. I have been trying to establish this flow for any project i have. After amazing interviews filledfilled with laughter, we signed the contract for a Software Engineer
