About me
Software Engineer
Beauty of software engineering. Developing software is engineering. The complexity of big systems must be met with appropriate actions to ensure reliability, maintainability, extendability. Meeting these criteria is a challenge in which I find motivation.
As a person
Hobbies: I love skateboarding, history and riding bike. I also find driving quite exciting.
Music: I am a big fan of rap music, more specifically: Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Joey Valence & Brae. Despite this, Bring Me the Horizon are also one of my favourites, together with Nothing but Thieves (especially their last album - Dead Club City).
Background. I was born in Burgas, Bulgaria in 2003. In school, I fell in love with math and dubstep. I started gaming around 2nd grade, and five years later I tried making my own game in GameMaker Studio following the tutorials of Heartbeast. To this day, I remember his words (which I am going to rephrase since I don't remember them exactly):
I love programming because it let's me create my own world.
These words resonated with me, and just before 8th grade I started learning web development. I started High-school in the Mathematical School in my city. There I learned more programming languages and algorithms, but I was really keen on studying myself.
After a couple of failed attempts on competitions earlier, in 11th grade I founded team Praxidike together with three fellow friends of mine. We won 4 competitions on local and national level, being qualified for the global NASA Challenge.
After finishing high school, I enrolled in the Computer Science & Engineering bachelor of TU Delft. In my second year there I joined the Honours Programme of the university with a GPA of 8.7.
