<h2>Summary</h2>
<p>
I am a 25-year-old guy from Bulgaria. In my younger years I competed
a lot in IT, Mathematics, and Physics. After school, I went to
experience the wider world for some years in university while
dabbling in some projects. Now I live in a small village with my
grandparents with a focus on professional development and my family.
</p>
<br />
<h2>Education</h2>
<p>
During my middle and high school years in Bulgaria (2010-2018), my
main focus was on IT, Mathematics, and Physics. I graduated with an
average of 5.73 and had the lowest grade in music out of my peers (I
still like to believe my musical skill was just hard to
conventionally measure).
</p>
<p>
During my high school years, I went to a lot of extracurricular
activities which allowed me to see what I was capable of compared to
my peers from all over the country during many competitions. All the
learning and competing gave me a lot of amazing memories as well as
the opportunity to travel across the country and even abroad it,
plus a free admission to our country's most prestigious university
when I was graduating.
</p>
<p>
Despite the aforementioned free admission, I wanted to try my luck
abroad so I studied for an English Certificate and earned a C2
Cambridge level.
</p>
<p>
I ended up going to the University of Applied Sciences - Saxion in
Deventer, Netherlands, with a Software Engineering Bachelor
(2019-2021). I aced my first year and got the "Getuigschrift
propedeuse HBO First Year Certificate". I ended up stopping my
studies after the end of my 3rd year's 1st semester around the whole
COVID pandemic.
</p>
<p>
After leaving my studies in the Netherlands I continued to work the
part-time job I had but now full-time and dedicated my free time to
software projects. With a team from my country, I finished a few
projects that are still in active use today.
</p>
<p>
I decided to return to Bulgaria 2 years ago to help my grandparents
in their daily lives. During my stay here I have taken my education
into my own hands, delving into Python, Node & React primarily. I am
working on paving my own way in the professional world so I can work
and live without regrets.
</p>
<br />
<h2>Work Experience</h2>
<ul>
<li>

Web Development Tutor (2016 and 2018) - After finishing some
local web development courses in my highschool years, I was

of web development (HTML, CSS & Javascript).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
RGIS, Inventory Manager, Top Gun (2019-2022) - I did quality
control for stores all over the Netherlands, the job required a
lot of quick adaptability, good social skills and a lot of
persistence.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Flink, Delivery Driver (2022) - I did delivery for around half a
year as a way to transition into me moving out of the

<li>
<p>
Lesto Soft, Software Engineer (2022-2023) - Once I came back to

2023.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Part-time Farmer and Caretaker (2022-Present) - The reason for

not monetary but I still consider it as something worth putting
here.

<p>
Freelancer (2023-Present) - After taking part in a lot of
