Summary
Atanas Harapov is a seasoned full-stack developer with 11 years of experience building web, API and mobile solutions across PHP (Symfony, Laravel), TypeScript, Vue/Nuxt and Ionic/Capacitor. He has progressed from open-source projects and freelancing into senior technical leadership roles, most recently serving as Senior Developer and Team Lead at billiton where he led payment system redesigns, DevOps, CI/CD and cross-platform migrations. Atanas combines hands-on engineering with people leadership—recruiting and mentoring developers, representing technical direction to clients, and aligning architecture with business goals. He’s comfortable across the stack and infrastructure, having created Docker/Kubernetes environments and driven performance, reliability and scalability improvements. Now based in Bulgaria and currently at ASAP, he brings a practical, get-things-done mentality rooted in his long-standing open-source origins. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of unifying disparate frontend stacks (introducing Nuxt across projects) to streamline development and reduce long-term maintenance.
