Building to make your life simpler

About

I've been building software products for over 20 years. Now, as a solo founder, AI is an essential part of my journey — powering the products I build, supporting areas where I lack expertise, and helping me brainstorm ideas. I studied Computer Science in Sofia, then moved to Munich for a Master’s in Robotics. There, I got into Computer Vision and Machine Learning, leading to a PhD at the Technical University of Munich through the BMW PhD program. I spent much of my career at BMW, developing camera-based driver assistance and autonomous driving features. In 2022, I left the corporate world to join a crypto and cybersecurity startup. After years of side projects, I’ve decided to make them my full-time focus and be my own boss. Expect to see my upcoming projects here at Product Hunt.
