Nikolay GeorgievSoftware Engineer

About

I like building the whole thing.

I am Nikolay Georgiev, a software engineer based in Varna, Bulgaria, with a Computer Science degree from the University of Ruse. By day I work as a backend developer at DXC Technology on an enterprise insurance platform, where the work is about reading large legacy systems carefully and shipping fixes through a real release process.

The rest of my time goes into systems of my own. Zone 32-19 is a community and commerce platform I build alone. USS X Academy is a production education platform I engineered for a training centre. J.A.R.V.I.S. is a local-first AI assistant built around the idea that models may advise but never act on their own authority. KObait is an embedded boat with its own radio protocol, and Malrynth is an operating system I am writing from scratch in Rust.

Next, I am deliberately broadening beyond TypeScript: Java, Spring Boot and Angular, through a ledger platform where financial correctness is the whole point.

01How I work

Four working rules

  1. 01

    Evidence over adjectives

    Claims about a system should point at code, tests or a measurement. This site follows the same rule: statuses come from repositories, not from ambition.

  2. 02

    Own the whole system

    Schema, API, realtime layer, payments, deployment and interface. I like knowing what happens at every layer, down to the boot loader.

  3. 03

    Safety is structure

    One writer for the motors, a compiled ceiling on what an AI may execute, a webhook that can only apply once. Boundaries belong in code and tests.

  4. 04

    Write it down

    Decision records, runbooks and honest status notes make long projects survivable, especially when AI agents are part of the team.
