About me

My ambitions

I'm looking for company that will highly value my profile as well as my great experience of developing web projects, customer-oriented mind, leadership skills. Ideally, I would quickly evolve into your favorite Developer/Tech Specialist/Leader. So far, I've worked mostly with custom frameworks/solutions, which makes me top contestant for everything when others can't do it. Finding quality personnel itself is difficult task, so it makes sense to always contact me first and discuss the possibilities. I have a syndrome that I can't lie (also known as honesty😉). Use this as advantage in our call ! History says, I'm very friendly and problem-solving person. Be sure that I'm happy to learn new things. Especially those things that will lead to my personal and everybody's success.
Note: My next job could be potentially a leadership one as my duties in the past have included serious decisions and talks with CEOs of other companies, works with Lucidchart for project tech planning etc. Please be generous for that because I may even push the team forward additionally with coding !
Recently I was called for bridging the Technical and Analyst roles, so this is also nice career path for me.

Addressing certain HR & CEO concerns

Read when you are wondering

Oh No, he was freelancing (HR myths - busted).
/transparent & assertive statement/

1. As one of the few Bulgarian freelancers with proven history records (@freelancer.com) I have helped workers from Silicon Valley or other less known business centers who couldn't do their workplace job as developers. Some of them may have been on the edge to be fired, desperately looking for paid help. Some of them did business by placing their project/job for half price than what their company would pay them.

2. I've been in the shadows silently helping "top experts", Seniors, Mids, Juniors. I've helped companies that couldn't find decent workers. Now imagine somebody with 5.0 out of 5.0 with 88 reviews and 100% on-time of these projects, considering the fact there are scammers and bad people.

3. HR - "but as a freelancer you're probably not a good team player, also you are freelancer because they don't want you in companies".
That's another thing you should reconsider. In the rare times I've been in companies (compared to others) I had great organisation and soft skills. Also, as a freelancer I learned how to do anything, how to be almost entire IT department problem-solver. Since most companies do not know how to appreciate that, I avoided them - that is the real reason for your 2nd concern.

4. HR - "but I don't see TCP/IP, WSS, HTTPS, SOAP, I don't see things we need, you don't know them".
If I have to specify here all protocols, all things I've worked with that would be 100+ things. If I am your candidate, I've checked the description and I would like to work as I will feel comfortable with the stack.

5. In fact in companies I take the most important stuff.
In Locator on the 2nd month of my employment, after people realized I am capable, I had to do major company moves on technical aspect. I was in group face-to-face meeting with Telenor's Country Manager and the theme was about new rebrand process - Yettel (and Locator are Business Partners). As a Developer I was assigned to do the rebranding/redesigning process (frontend task) of the Telenor 🡢 Yettel business portal. Everything went perfect ! My backend knowledge was tested even harder on other tasks.

6. All of the above points out I should make good money. Of course nobody pays a lot for newly employed person (especially in Bulgaria), so I can join your company for much less as you obviously require proportionally less of the things I can possibly do. If I've applied for a simple IT job, I'll do it with closed eyes and spend my other time on my personal plans, it is that simple. I watch about workload/salary, not top salary.

7. Because all of the above, world currently realizes that it is not fair to have some Team Leads with 6K+ EUR as company problems don't stick to super-advanced knowledge of single framework like Vue.js and managing a team. Most importantly, company problems aren't resolved by how many previous famous and big company-based jobs you had. That is one of the reasons why in 2025 we have those massive layoffs, but I should be hired !

Take a peek of what companies and individuals said for me

Knowledge area

Education

PGTE "Henry Ford"

This high school formed me as a person. Excellent marks in Informatics, Biology and Psychology,which makes sense for the person who I'm currently.

UNIBIT

I finished IT /DEV/ Bachelor's degree there. Knowledge includes - AI, Oracle/MySQL Database, C languages, Agile Software Development, Copyrighting, English Upper-Intermediate & more.

PHP.NET

There's nothing more precise than the official PHP documentation. I still like to go in there.

Experience

My past jobs

5+ years Freelancing as primary source of good income

You can click on the logo and check my profile/reviews. Was very happy to work there,until the point where workers were at least 100 times more than employers. On the right side you can see a list of all the skills used for the projects. And Yes - you would see PHP & Javascript and lots of other stuff 😊

Technical Support Engineer / IT Business Consultant

Luckily I had the perfect manager in the building. Was on the top of the performance chart. It was my personal choice to leave as there wasn't official free spot for the "Customizations Team"(Dev position) and thus get the deserved X2 salary.

SMTPBOXES.COM Project

I've built it from scratch and it is based on PHP/jQuery (design - 2015). This project had stable income. SMTPBOXES was SMTP and email marketing service that was approved and featured on AppSumo. By googling it you can only find positive reviews! I'm proud of it 😊
After GDPR & Spamcop became too strict it was difficult to satisfy both customers and spam filtering engines, so I closed the project.

LOCATOR

Was hired as Senior PHP Full Stack Developer. Technologies used were PHP7, jQuery/CSS/Bootstrap, IBM DB2, Redis, VirtualBox & sysadmin in general (Job turned out to be more like Vice Technical Director as I was given a free role to do anything that has to be done). For single year I was able to finish all important tasks for the company. Nice colleagues that work hard to get their deserved salary, never saw them killing time, neither was I. Happy experience 😊

The exact LinkedIn job offer & duties

ZeleNet.NET

I've started a Company (currently frozen) that will act like small ISP. This is something that I won't give up in future and the reason I apply for new job is to have additional funding that will support this project someday.
Uses extensive PHP and Debian(Bash), networking, complicated automations on google sheets + apps script. Includes hardware related stuff, like 2.5Gbe,10Gbe switches,High-Throughput NICs, creative cost-saving ways to make network. I like this, because I use my bare hands for the hardware, which is nice hobby to have.

Maybe your job here 😉

Let's have a talk !


I apply for (Match % for job role):
100% PHP Backend, 100% jQuery/Bootstrap Frontends
100% Technical/API/AI Integrations
100% Technical SEO & Off-page SEO
95% Windows/Linux (iptables) net/sysadmin
90% VBA/Excel Automation

Each of these is single job. I can do all of them at the specified intensity. You decide.

👉Other stuff used in the present and past (for GURUs only)

Magento, Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, Prestashop, PHPBB

I was working on extensions, plugins/modules, site error fixes or new installations with modifications by customer needs.

VBA, VB6, MS Jscript, VB.NET, Batch scripting, AutoHotKey

Believe it or not my experience includes the days of oldschool programming stuff. I loved the Windows programming languages (even still !). I've made my steps into programming when I was about 16yo !

SMTP, Digital Marketing, SEO

Obviously if you have Digital Marketing product you have to code it, know everything about it and market it. I was top SEO guy and SMTPBOXES was on #1 page for "cheap smtp".

LoadRunner

At TekExperts I worked technical support and IT business consultant of HP/MicroFocus/OpenText product called LoadRunner. This tool is the most advanced one for stress testing, performance benchmarking and automation of a web app. If I am hired I may use it !

TensorFlow, Transformers, Cloud AI & PHP AI solutions/automations

I see opportunities to implement AI on the frontend by leveraging the user's browser resources. Doing it on backend with python, which includes heavy ML ideas, by my opinion is totally unacceptable if you are start-up or small company and it is madness to see so many pyhon job openings from such companies. By forcing all this, your services will probably crash if you get some customers. It may turn out you don't have the money for such servers AI needs when customer base expands (unless you are ready to use all profits for heavy duty servers). I used TensorFlow.js to load a module for blocking images with nudity content. It is great idea but on a 2016-2017 smartphone it lags too much so AI has long path to be optimized. Elderly people (you have to consider the terrible demographics) use similar or even older phones so this has to be used carefully. This problem will be cleared out probably 2026-2027.
For Automations, I work with the newest and best AI solutions that involve LLMs through Cloud technologies and PHP integrations. HuggingFace AI solutions are interesting, but I find them a bit slow for corporate usage and the service is doing $0.10 per request sometimes out of nothing !
If you really want AI, at this moment do not reinvent the wheel, just use proven Cloud AI solutions, all of which I can help with.
Edit: 1 month after these AI thoughts Tobias Zwingmann shared similiar opinion with the following chart

What's the monthly net budget for your open job role ?
This responsive portfolio is created 2021 from scratch (updated 2025) with CSS/HTML/Bootstrap/jQuery coding (NO AI USED).
It is unique build by me, already showing frontend skills and creativity. If you're technical you probably already know that.
