Peter Sabev is a seasoned software development leader with 20+ years across startups and global enterprises like IBM and Experian, currently serving as a 2nd line Software Development Manager in Sofia. He combines deep QA and engineering expertise—rising from test analyst and technical writer roles to Head of QA, Director of Engineering, and multiple CEO/co-founder positions—to build high-performing teams and reliable, customer-focused products on schedule. A PhD in Informatics and long-standing educator and community organizer, he frequently mentors, lectures, authors, and runs events that bridge academia and industry. Known for creating teams from scratch and improving processes end-to-end, he blends hands-on technical judgment with strong soft skills to align engineering outcomes with business goals. An unusual hallmark of his career is sustained dual-track leadership: running startups (Webbicus) while holding senior roles in major corporations, demonstrating both entrepreneurial grit and enterprise delivery discipline.
