Ivan Grigorov is a Senior Software Developer based in Sofia with 11 years of experience building web, mobile and desktop applications across PHP (Symfony), Node.js, JavaScript, Java and .NET stacks. He has a strong track record as a hands-on engineer and maintainer of open-source PHP packages and VS Code extensions, alongside leadership experience as CTO and technical team lead. Ivan blends backend expertise (SQL/NoSQL, PHP packages, ASP.NET Core) with mobile interests—Android, Swift and NativeScript—and hobbyist Unity game development.
