My Story
Currently, I am a Solutions Architect at Hygraph (GraphCMS).
I began my career in the desktop software development division of one of the world’s leading 3rd party component providers for the .NET ecosystem (Telerik, now Progress).In the 5 years, I spent there, I worked on numerous UI and UX components and frameworks for WPF and Silverlight. At some point, I started wondering what the other side of the business is and wanted to see how a concrete business case software solution is developed, not just the building blocks I was used to developing, so I joined the product company offering the most downloaded office app on Google Play (MobiSystems - Office Suite).
From the get-go, I started working on a desktop version of the suite and building a team that can extend and support the application bundle in the future. I trained several developers and lead the team for a year and a half. During that time I learned a lot about the business and development processes for a big software project and began to develop a vision for а company of my own.
At the beginning of 2016, a very good friend and colleague of mine and I started SourceWeave. We had the vision of providing the best possible services to help companies evolve in the modern era and bring their processes into the digital age. We believe every single customer should feel they have a dedicated team that can support them on the way to achieving their vision. Unfortunately, not everything works out. Here are some of the lessons I learned from the SourceWeave experience.
At the start of 2019, I returned to Progress in a more customer-facing role in Pre-Sales. I am helping existing customers on their journey to evolve their legacy applications and promoting Progress Solutions on various venues including conferences, user groups, and webinars.
After nearly three years at the forefront of an enterprise sales team, it was time to move to a more challenging role where I can put everything I learned throughout the years. I took the role of a Solutions Architect at Hygraph (GraphCMS). I am working closely with all teams in the company to strengthen our Pre-Sales processes and help expand our business globally.
Free Time
I usually enjoy a wide variety of hobbies during my free time. From adventures with my dog, Casper, to just grabbing a captivating book, these are some of the activities I dedicate myself to, when I get the chance.
Snow Gliding
Everything related to a plank sliding on snow. I tend to favor snowboarding and splitboarding, but I enjoy skiing just as much.
There just is something magical in the process of finding your path and planning a line down a conquered hill.
Mountain biking
As an alternative when snow is missing from the mountains, I usually trade the snowboard for a bike and go trail blazing through the forests or high meadows in the mountains.
I am blessed with living in a place where the mountain is just a 20 minutes drive away, so be it in the morning before work, or the afternoon before kicking back on the couch with the wife, a quick ride is all it takes to turn a good day into a great one.
Photography and Videography
Alongside my other hobbies and my youtube channel, I picked up the art of creating and editing videos and playing around with photography as well.
While I am very much an amateur in those fields, it is something that I am passionate about and it has become a big part of my life.
