Lead Software Engineer
Building scalable systems with .NET, Azure, and a strong product mindset
Lead Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience delivering enterprise systems using C#, Azure, and modern web technologies. I focus on building scalable, maintainable solutions grounded in both technical depth and real business understanding, shaped by an early career in accounting and audit.
Outside of engineering, I train for endurance sports, explore new countries, and spend as much time as possible outdoors with my German Shepherd, Raya.

"Georgi is a motivated and responsible software engineer. He is always focused and dedicated to delivering working solutions on time. I value his ability to take on a whole feature, by himself or as an essential part of the team: from communicating business requirements to technically implementing them and then supporting the result. He is eager to learn new skills, easy to work with and can certainly be a valuable part of any engineering team."
"Code is still instructions for a machine. But it is also a model of understanding. In the LLM era, that second role becomes even more important. The future of coding is not just writing more code faster. It is building better conceptual models, better vocabularies, and better foundations on top of which both humans and LLMs can work."
