My name is Stefan Mitev and am a software engineer with:

• 10 years of experience with Android mobile development
• 5+ years of experience with secure programming and security auditing
• 7 years of experience with web (mostly backend) development
• 1/2 year of experience with Flutter (iOS and Android)
• 1/2 year of experience of multiplatform development with Kotlin/Native
• 1/2 year of Android platform/ROM development
• 1 year of experience with Android Wear development
• 1 year of experience with microcontrollers and interfacing them with mobile applications
• 3 years of experience with desktop
• 2.5 years of experience as a teacher assistant in programming and databases at university
• Technical speaker (GDG Toronto, GDG NL, DutchAUG, NLLGG)
• BSc in ICT & Software Engineering with score 9/10

I graduated cum laude from Fontys University (Netherlands) with a BSc in ICT & Software engineering. Before that I graduated with an excellent diploma in ship navigation from “VMG Sv. Nikolai Chudotvoretz” (Bulgaria) professional maritime highschool.

I believe I inherited my mother’s passion for helping others (who was a primary school teacher) and gradually transformed into solving people’s problems by building quality and secure software.

Occasionally I would do public speaking on technical topics, related to my professional career. For about a year I was a co-organizer of “Flutter Netherlands”, an open developer group, where everybody can share their knowledge about Flutter.

Despite being a tech geek, I was a professional athlete and am a huge sport lover. I used to compete in sailing, windsurfing and rowing for 10 years. Now they are just part of my other hobbies like skiing, freestyle skating, cycling etc. On top of that, I love doing athletic training on a daily basis and whenever possible to travel, explore new places and have fun motorcycling.
