I design and direct complex technical systems — from cosmological inference software to zero-trust lab infrastructure and a fully equipped precision machine shop.
I heavily leverage AI coding tools (as my "junior developer") while I own the architecture, specifications, testing, and governance. My core focus is building disciplined, self-governing codebases that survive heavy AI assistance without drifting into chaos.
Founder of Black Epsilon Ltd. and operator of a private R&D lab + machine shop in Sofia.
