Software Engineer / Edge AI Builder / Embedded Systems Engineer
MSCS at Sofia University, MSEE and BSEE at the University of Washington, and 2+ years of professional development experience. I bring 8 years of programming depth across high-concurrency microservices, low-power firmware, real-time systems, and edge computer vision.
When I am not writing code, I am studying movement mechanics in the gym or charging down snowy runs with a team. I like turning athletic focus into engineering ideas.
About Me
My path connects electrical engineering, hardware validation, software systems, and real-time computing. At Chuwa America, I worked on distributed backend architecture, caching, messaging, and performance tuning. At Rice Lake and Stryker, I built confidence in firmware, communication protocols, digital filtering, and resource-aware embedded design.
Fitness gives me a physical laboratory for biomechanics. Skiing sharpens focus, risk awareness, and trust with a partner. Those habits map directly into engineering: listen clearly, coordinate across disciplines, and keep calm when systems get steep.
Featured Projects
C++17 / TensorRT / CUDA / Jetson Orin Nano
A multithreaded C++ edge CV system inspired by gym training, with squat analysis for knee valgus, joint angles, movement asymmetry, and form feedback.
STM32 / FreeRTOS / IMU
A real-time embedded monitor using a 6-axis IMU, RTOS queues, semaphores, and low-level I2C/UART/DMA communication patterns.
Medical Firmware / BLE / DSP
C firmware for a resource-constrained pulse oximeter, including digital filtering to reduce motion artifacts and BLE GATT optimization.
NestJS 11 / WebSockets / Redis / PostgreSQL
A high-performance IM platform with secure RTR refresh-token rotation, Dockerized deployment, GitHub Actions automation, and a 70% container size reduction.
Spring Boot / Redis / RabbitMQ / MySQL
Distributed services with Redis caching that lowered database read load by 45%, event-driven RabbitMQ pipelines, and MySQL index tuning for production workloads.
