Summary
Boris Yordanov is a software engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building front-end and full-stack web applications for distributed teams, currently working at Safi and based in Sofia. After pivoting from civil engineering, he taught himself to code and found a durable fit in JavaScript, blending engineering rigor with web-first product thinking. He has led and scaled frontend architecture and component libraries at Toptal and Remo.co, shipped TypeScript/React apps, and acted as engineering manager, tech lead and product steward for open source tooling. Comfortable working remotely for 20+ years, Boris has a track record of hiring and mentoring engineers, driving CI/CD and reusable pipelines, and launching major library releases. He combines startup grit—from founding a drone startup and freelancing teams—to disciplined delivery in larger orgs, and often brings automation-first habits learned in engineering to speed development.
