Bio

I am a veteran in web development with 13+ years of experience and completed projects for major corporate and private clients from all around the world. I have been a leading architect and developer on some of the biggest projects done with Drupal including one of the largest eCommerce projects built on Drupal in history, an in-store screen delivering software for thousands of retail locations in dozens of countries, and a platform that controls website provision centrally and manages multiple sites from one location.

I am also a mentor and lecturer. I have been teaching PHP, Drupal, and Front-end Fundamentals at Coding School, Software University in Sofia, and speaking at different events.
