Yavor Kolev is a Junior Software Engineer with five years of hands-on experience building back-end and full-stack tooling while self-employed and contributing to notable open-source projects. He has improved developer-facing tooling for projects like Hyprland—tweaking HyprCtl’s JSON representations to make window and monitor data more reliable—and expanded shell autocomplete coverage by authoring and fixing completion specs. Comfortable across debugging, JSON APIs, and CLI integrations, he focuses on small, high-impact fixes that improve observability and usability. Based in the Katavi Region (USA), he blends independent contracting agility with internship experience at CloudBolt Software. Colleagues would describe him as pragmatic and detail-oriented, often catching subtle bugs introduced by prior commits.
