Senior Software Engineer
Introduction
Who I am
As you already noticed my name is Svilen Yanovski. I live in Sofia (Bulgaria) - a nice city just 7700 km away of Palo Alto and the Silicon Valley.
I am a Software Developer with main specialization in the Back-End technologies mostly with Java Stack. Over the time I've became a Full-Stack Developer with good Cloud experience.
For small projects I prefer using managed hosting solutions / VPS and I hve experience with DigitalOcean and AWS deployment setups.
Technologies
Front-End: I'm using Angular 2+ with / without Server-Side-Rendering. Vanilla JS is also an option.
Back-End: Here is my main expertise. My back-end stack includes Java SE 8+ / Java EE / Spring Boot 2 + Hibernate / Spring JPA.
DB: Main focus is relational DB, but I've used also NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB, etc...) and Graph Databases - Neo4j.
Cloud: I work mostly with AWS and DigitalOcean.
What I can do for you
Usually I'm open for part time tasks, consulting and mentoring with a flexible schedule. For the moment I'm not able to take a full-time project.
Remuneration is not my primary motivation factor and if I find a project/start-up interesting, valuable for the society and in general "technologically interesting" I can be very flexible, including shares and options. In all other cases my usual hourly rate starts at about 30 euro/hour.
Even if you are a struggling with a side-project you can get in touch with me. I have a rule for myself to keep helping and mentoring young developers for free (based on my free time ofc).
