Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikolay Petrov is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of full-stack web development experience, currently focused on backend work at SumUp after roles at Acronis and leading teams at Atida. He blends hands-on coding with mentorship and knowledge-sharing, having moved from intensive frontend work into scalable backend systems while still enjoying UI challenges. Nikolay consistently drives quality across the software lifecycle—from requirements and architecture to deployment and support—and brings practical DevOps and optimization experience from long-running product work. He volunteers his skills for community projects, from building a web platform for a caving club to lecturing at a local school, showing a knack for translating complex concepts to learners. Based in Sofia, Bulgaria, he pairs a technical education with a pragmatic, improvement-oriented mindset and a surprising origin story: once aspiring (if only humorously) to join a national football team, he channeled that competitive passion into software craft.
