A young engineer turning a decade of self-driven curiosity into shipped software - from dojo games in 4th grade and homemade Python Snake clones, to embedded robots and cloud-native full-stack platforms.
My journey began in 4th grade - the moment curiosity met possibility. I built my first website, a dojo-themed browser game, in pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. That spark never went out.
What started as childhood fascination quickly became a discipline. Through years of self-directed study, I sharpened my command of the web fundamentals and wrote my first Python programs - recreations of classic games like Snake and Pac-Man, built from scratch.
That early curiosity carried me into Hristo Smirnenski High School, where I joined the Applied Programming track and was formally introduced to C# and structured software engineering.
Beyond the classroom, I joined the robotics club and worked hands-on with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and C/C++ - sparking a lasting interest in embedded systems and the elegant bridge between hardware and code.
In 2023, I enrolled at Software University (SoftUni) to formally certify my skills through rigorous, project-based coursework across the full stack. I graduated high school with excellence in 2024 and have continued sharpening my craft ever since.
Today, I'm building a complete full-stack platform for a client - spanning backend, modern frontend, mobile application, and cloud deployment - applying everything I've learned end-to-end.
Now seeking my first professional role as a Junior Full-Stack Developer - ready to contribute, learn, and grow with a forward-thinking engineering team.
Curious, quick-witted, and energized by new ideas. ENTPs thrive at the intersection of possibility and execution - challenging assumptions, sketching solutions, and turning "what if?" into "let's ship it." Which feels about right for someone who's been coding since 4th grade and still finds it the most fun thing in the world.
From the first line of HTML to the cloud that runs it - fluent across languages, frameworks, databases, and the platforms that ship them.
A small selection - from a current client engagement to award-winning robotics and the games where it all started.
A complete production engagement for "Yordan Ivanov - AVG", a family-run driving school in Pernik. Spanning every layer of the modern web - typed backend, responsive frontend, a companion mobile app, and continuous cloud deployment. Designed and engineered end-to-end.
An interactive robotics build presented at the 4th National Conference for students, ITA 2025 (Sofia). Recognized with a national award and diploma of excellence for engineering execution and live presentation.
My origin story in code: a dojo-themed browser game in 4th grade using pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, followed by years of Python - rebuilding Snake, Pac-Man, and other classics from the ground up to master logic and structure.
Years of hands-on time at the intersection of hardware and code - micro-controllers, sensors, servos, real-time logic. The work that gave me a real feel for what's happening underneath the abstraction layers we usually take for granted.
A full-stack ASP.NET Core MVC e-commerce platform for browsing and ordering authentic Tiffany lamps. Architected across 15 class library projects with strict separation of concerns - repository pattern, Fluent API, assembly-scanned DI, and custom middleware. Features a role-based Admin Area, Swagger-documented REST API, and real-time stock updates via SignalR. Hardened with custom exception handling, anti-forgery, and security headers. 31 unit tests with xUnit, Moq, and FluentAssertions cover 65%+ of business logic. Shipped over 9 days across 79 commits.
An end-to-end machine learning research project combining mathematical rigor with production-quality Python engineering - the full pipeline from problem formulation and data collection through model development, evaluation, and deployment. Formally derived the algorithms from first principles: loss functions, gradients, optimization procedures, convergence properties. Implemented multiple approaches from scratch and via established frameworks, with systematic hyperparameter tuning, cross-validation, ablation studies, and significance testing. Modular Python codebase treated as production software. Deliverable is a formal technical report covering theory, methodology, results, and an honest discussion of limitations.
