I’m Plamen Zhelyazkov.

I started exploring computers in the 90s with a family 486 and no internet. Curiosity quickly turned into a habit of figuring things out - and that drive has never left me.

I studied Computer Systems and Technologies at Technical University Sofia, but most of what I know I learned by building things. I spent over a decade at a retail company where I wore every hat - from managing servers and networks to writing internal applications and leading digital initiatives. That experience shaped how I think about technology: it should serve people, not the other way around.

Since then I've worked across different environments - fintech, software companies, freelance - always gravitating toward roles where I can combine technical work with understanding what the business actually needs.

I enjoy building things that people use - tools that improve efficiency, simplify workflows, and help teams grow. I care about clean solutions and working with people who want to get better at what they do.
