What I Do
Testimonials

I had the opportunity to work with Ogi for 5 months. During this time, he consistently impressed me with his backend development skills and technical expertise. He goes into detail with every task he takes, always striving to create the perfect solution. Ogi's proactive and innovative mindset was a valuable asset to the team, as he regularly contributed ideas for improvements.

Ogi's attention to detail is almost unprecedented. He's an excellent hard-working, result-driven individual who is also great at finding the root cause and fixing any type of issue. He doesn't mind getting his hands dirty and do those little things that others often stay away from. Like fixing that pesky bug, or optimising the cloud cost, or improving the CI. He has a strong voice and is very proactive when it comes to improvements, whether it's the code base, the deployment pipeline, or an internal process. He is not fan of empty theories, that's why his suggestions are always backed up by facts and metrics. Last but not least, he's a good team player, always willing to help.
It was pleasure to work with Ogy. He is a great professionalist always seeking for the best results. A person who you can teach a lot from and willing to help you anytime.
It was such a pleasure to work with Ogy for so many years. He is very smart and creative hard-working individual, who knows how to get the job done quickly and effectively, has excellent communication skills, and is willing to help when you need it. Ogy is a great IP network expert and software developer and I would strongly recommend him.
I've worked with Ognyan and he is very logical, analitical and able to solve difficult problems very fast. He feels a constant urge of improving and for a several years he became one of the best in his specialty in Bulgaria.

Ognyan is compete professionalist. He has big knowledge in the area he works in. He does the work always on time, accurate and is always willing to help his colleagues and demonstrated high professionalism and the ability to work in an intercultural team. It was pleasure for me to work together with Ognyan.
Ognyan is a dedicated and loyal member of every team. I know him from the time we worked together for BTC/Bulgarian Telecommunication Company. After he started working in Deltatel, we worked together for a several Vivacom SWAP projects. All these years I consolidated my opinion for him for a very serious professional in every task he has. One of his best characteristics is the ability to solve every problem in the network, to share the information of it and to explain in details why it has happened. He is enthusiastic and well-motivated, hardworking, intelligent and very responsible to his duties.
I have known Ognyan for more than 10 years. I have worked with him as a client of Vivacom, part of our team and partner. He has always stood out with his mind and intellect. He always solved common problems with understanding and heart. He is very innovative and creative. Gives useful ideas and implements them. Monitors the quality of the common task and is a corrective to their performance. I recommend Ognyan to every team!
Over the last years we worked alongside in developing a few ample projects in large CSP networks renewal, during which Ogi created tools (like service network topology architecture) which contributed to a smooth progress of the projects. Ognyan's good network knowledge and programming skills make him able to understand the network infrastructure and specific project requirements, and then makes a good use of his creative side and develops tools needed for automating the process as much as possible. With his proactive view, he searches for and discovers issues that the project may encounter and proposes viable solutions that make a difference.
