Svetoslav Mitov

20 years of experience in the industry, 7+ years of experience in leading and managing cross-functional teams of developers, applying software development methodologies and release processes, and guiding and mentoring engineers. Still developing and believes that hands-on experience makes the difference between solving real problems and drawing meaningless boxes on boards. 16+ years of experience with c++, c# .net and .net core, ef, and ef core, web API (rest), WCF (soap), MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, AWS, DevOps, also in algorithms, data structures, and math.

I believe that writing code is like writing a poem or drawing a picture - an art (in a more structured way - with lots of conventions, patterns, strategies, and best practices...). The code can do the job but can be ugly and dirty or, on the opposite side, beautiful. Be clean.

Every developer has seen code that inspired him. Me too. I believe that writing good and clean code is not a waste of time, and I am trying to improve and improve along the way.

I believe that learning is a never-ending process, so I am trying to always stay up to date with new technologies and use, and adopt them. I like to get out of my 'comfort zone and experience 'new' ideas, to name a few (in the moment of writing) - web assembly (blazer), graphQL, and NoSQL databases.
