RockstarHristo Hristov is a systems developer with 12 years of hands-on experience modernizing and maintaining C/C++ codebases, currently focused on macOS and Linux agent development and refactoring legacy code to C++20 best practices. He brings a game-development background—shipping titles for consoles like Xbox One, PS4/Vita and working at studios such as Gameloft and Ivent Games—which informs a pragmatic, performance-minded approach to system design. At BULPROS he has delivered cross-platform installers and Swift web services while bridging embedded, iOS and systems work, showing rare fluency across low-level and higher-level stacks. An active open-source contributor, he improved build and Clang integration for Microsoft’s popular vscode-cmake-tools extension, contributing to developer tooling used widely in VS Code. Outside of code, a lifelong interest in art and early career pivot into games give him an unusual blend of technical rigor and creative sensibility. Based in Bulgaria, he combines contractor experience with long-term product development, comfortable shipping reliable features in distributed teams.
