I build systems
that last.

I'm Ivan — a technology strategist and systems architect with more than a decade of experience building scalable platforms, leading engineering teams, and transforming ambitious ideas into real-world products. Throughout my career, I've contributed to 80+ software projects across AI, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, enterprise systems, banking, healthcare, aviation, mobility, ERP, and autonomous technologies.

My expertise goes beyond software engineering alone. I specialize in system architecture, distributed systems, infrastructure design, security, product development, operational strategy, and leadership of cross-functional teams. From early-stage concepts to enterprise-scale platforms, I consistently help turn complexity into scalable technology, efficient operations, and sustainable growth.

Parallel to that, I co-founded and lead multiple companies across radically different domains — from autonomous monitoring systems for industrial environments to a next-generation automotive lifecycle platform and a smart notary tool that digitizes an industry still running on paper.

I thrive at the intersection of deep technical architecture and entrepreneurial execution. I don't just design — I ship.

Ventures I've Founded & Built

Over the years I've contributed to 80+ software projects across system architecture, AI, software engineering, security, infrastructure, team leadership, and company operations — turning complex challenges into scalable businesses and real-world products. I don't wait for the perfect moment — I build the solution. I'm currently involved in:

System Architect & Head of R&D
neoshare AG
Joined neoshare at day zero and architected the entire platform from scratch. As Head of R&D I drive the technical vision, infrastructure decisions, and product evolution of a German-rooted B2B SaaS company.
📡
CEO & Co-Founder · System Architect
AMS JSc.
Autonomous Monitoring Systems develops AI-powered autonomous security solutions for mission-critical environments. I lead both company strategy and system architecture, building scalable platforms that combine autonomous drones, real-time monitoring, and intelligent automation to protect industrial facilities 24/7.
🚗
Co-Founder
DrivenetX
The next generation automotive lifecycle platform. DrivenetX unifies the fragmented world of car ownership, repair, and sales — giving repair shops, vehicle owners, and dealers full transparency, history tracking, and control over every interaction in the vehicle's life.
📄
Co-Founder
SmartNotary
Digitizing notary offices across Bulgaria. Using a mobile-first approach, SmartNotary lets notaries scan IDs and documents with a phone camera, then instantly generates legally-compliant contracts — eliminating hours of manual work per transaction.

Core Expertise

🏗
System Architecture
Designing scalable, resilient platforms from first principles. From monolith to microservices — I choose what fits, not what's trendy.
🔬
R&D Leadership
Translating business objectives into technical roadmaps. Building and mentoring engineering teams that ship consistently and with quality.
👥
People Management
Proven experience leading engineering and cross-functional teams from 5 to 100 people. Building high-performance, aligned teams across multinational environments.
📊
Product Strategy
I sit at the table where technical decisions meet business outcomes. I speak both languages fluently and bridge the gap between them.
🔌
IoT & Autonomous Systems
Hands-on experience building autonomous monitoring and security systems for industrial use — from hardware interfaces to cloud dashboards and AI inference.
🌎
Cross-border Operations
Operating across Europe, Asia, the USA, and Australia — navigating different regulatory environments, markets, and team cultures simultaneously.
🚀
Zero-to-One Execution
Multiple startups built from scratch alongside a full-time senior role. I know how to operate with limited resources and zero margin for error.
Wide Industry Experience
Aviation, banking, finance, healthcare, ERP, automotive, IoT, cybersecurity, and autonomous technologies — 80+ projects across diverse, regulated industries.
🧠
AI & Innovation
Applying AI and emerging technologies to solve real business problems. From concept to production-ready AI-driven products that create measurable impact.

The same precision,
a different machine.

When I'm not architecting platforms or building companies, I'm on two wheels. Motorcycling isn't just a hobby — it's a mindset. Every ride demands full focus, calculated risk assessment, and the confidence to commit.

"You can't ride a bike on autopilot. You have to be completely present. That discipline carries directly into how I build systems."

My BMW S1000RR is my reminder that peak performance is about the marriage of engineering and human mastery — a principle I apply everywhere I work.

Ready to build
something remarkable?

Whether you're an investor, a potential partner, or a company looking to work with a builder who understands both the technical and business sides — I'd love to hear from you.
