Builder, cloud architect, and terminal addict — currently going deep on AI agents.

Deep in AI agent territory. Multiple agents running in parallel, context-switching fast enough to keep everything moving. The real work isn't the agents — it's holding it all together. Wired for exactly that.
10+ years of writing buggy software, iterating until it has fewer bugs, and doing it all over again. Cloud infrastructure, FinOps tooling, multi-cloud platforms.
Ask a lot of questions. Not for lack of understanding — because the most expensive bug is building the wrong feature perfectly.
Value-driven first. Not everything worth doing is obvious — but everything not worth doing is.
Build and operate. You don't truly understand what you've shipped until you're the one on-call at 3am.
Terminal-first. tmux from a phone — building at the supermarket, the bank, anywhere there's a gap. With AI, 100x faster at making mistakes and learning from them.
Meetings only for what can't be resolved async — and we leave with results.
Trilingual: English, German, Bulgarian.

With AI on the rise, generic software has no business being closed and proprietary. Niche, competitive industries have their reasons for keeping things closed — but everything else should be open.

Jan 2024 – Present
- Built Broadcom's cloud inventory and chargeback system — ensuring every account, project, and subscription across AWS, GCP, and Azure is attributed to the right team with accurate billing data, giving Product BUs a realistic picture of their cloud spend
- Kept to established patterns: REST, OpenAPI, microservices — simple, maintainable, no reinvention
- Became a decision evaluator — getting the most out of every developer, even those with zero interest in learning
Dec 2022 – Jan 2024
- Led a globally distributed team running a ring-0 cloud access service at 99.999% uptime
- Trusted engineers with solutions and let them learn from mistakes, rather than micro-managing with "the right way according to me"
- Owned roadmap planning, balancing SOC2/PCI DSS/ISO compliance with feature delivery
Jan 2021 – Dec 2022
- Co-architected a ground-up refactor of an event-driven multi-cloud access platform (Terraform + Lambdas deploying across 17,000+ accounts in all AWS regions simultaneously) — 99.9999% availability, strict monitoring, observability, on-call
- The platform provided just-in-time credentials used by all SRE teams to access and troubleshoot cloud accounts
- Established standards — documentation, Jira tracking, development practices — to scale from a small crew to a real operation
Apr 2020 – Jan 2021
- Built custom software for process automation and data collection on- and off-site
- Introduced agile practices to construction teams who'd never seen them
Feb 2020 – Apr 2020
- Built API layer in Django, contributed to React/Redux/Apollo frontend for trip management
- Drew on travel experience to drive product decisions and iterate fast
Dec 2017 – Dec 2019
- Data science web apps, Vue frontend redesigns, Ionic PWAs — iterated on all of it
- Deployed and managed everything on Azure
- Main developer in Founders Foundation Startup Accelerator
Dec 2016 – Jul 2017
- Built, SEO-optimized, and published 5–6 websites in raw PHP and Bootstrap, including company main site and subsidiary sites
