I am an IT student at the Technical University of Sofia, currently focused on backend development, full-stack web applications, and software testing. I like building projects that feel practical and real, especially systems that combine clear structure, useful functionality, and steady improvement over time.

Right now, I am working toward internship opportunities where I can keep growing as a developer, contribute seriously, and learn from an experienced team.

Airport Manager 2.0 is currently my strongest portfolio project. It is a full-stack airport operations platform built with Django REST Framework and React, and it brings together role-based access, backend API design, admin CRUD workflows, and passenger-facing flight tracking in one project.

• I enjoy building software that solves real problems, not only course exercises.
• My main interests are backend development, REST APIs, testing, and full-stack applications.
• I like improving projects step by step and documenting them clearly.
• I am deaf and communicate confidently through mobile transcription tools, Bulgarian Sign Language, and verbal speech.
• I speak Bulgarian, Turkish, English, and Bulgarian Sign Language.

My GitHub includes both academic and personal projects that reflect how I learn and how I work in practice.

Some of the projects I am most proud of are:

• Airport Manager 2.0
  A full-stack airport operations platform built with Django REST Framework and React, with role-based access, flight dashboards, admin CRUD, and passenger flight tracking.

• AirportFlightManager
  A backend-focused flight management system centered around API structure, permissions, search, and airport workflow logic.

• InclusiveHub
  A Flask-based personal task management platform with authentication, task CRUD, and profile management.

• Audio Signal Processing
  A Python project focused on waveform generation, audio synthesis, and educational signal processing tasks.

• Arduino Temperature Monitor
  A small embedded / IoT-style project that combines Arduino, sensors, display output, and alert logic.

I also built and maintain my own website:

• yumercooking.com

It is a personal cooking website where I share recipes, food stories, and original content, but it is also one of the strongest examples of my practical development work outside university coursework.

The site is custom-built and programmed around a real content structure. On the backend, I use Django and Wagtail to manage recipe pages, article pages, category landing pages, homepage content, search, media, and API-driven content delivery. It is important to me because it is not just a static personal page, but a real project with custom models, admin-managed content, structured page types, and continuous maintenance.

At the moment, I am focused on:

• improving my Django and Django REST Framework skills
• building stronger portfolio projects for internship applications
• learning more about testing, APIs, and backend architecture
• continuing my preparation toward ISTQB and professional software development practices

I have completed learning paths and certifications related to front-end development, back-end development, computer science, and Python through platforms such as Codecademy, Google, and LinkedIn Learning.
