How I Work #

I have always emphasized the business aspect on delivering software. I firmly believe that understanding the business and its context is one of the major determinats of success. Without this knowledge you are basically driving a car blindfolded hoping for the best.

I work closely with my clients and I use fixed quotes for all my work.

Innovation & Entrepreneurship in Technology #

I have been fascinated with building new things for quite some time now. After failing miserably with my first startup, I have since read and experiemented with pretty much all methodologies for building startups. Last couple of years I was also responsible for building the innovation department at one of the biggest IT companies in Bulgaria (ScaleFocus) and had the opportunity to gain first hand experience on what works and what certainly does not in a comporate setting.

No matter what your setting is, validation is key. While “validate everything as early as possible” is great advise and you will find it in every startup book worth its salt, it is very difficult to pull off, especially if you are just getting started. I can help you with establishing a working validation process.

No matter if you are already working on a new product, you just have an idea or you would like to innovate in a corporate setting, my experience can help you steer into the right direction.
