I'm Ivan Zhelyazkov, a full-stack software engineer with 6+ years building production web apps, mobile apps, and desktop software. I specialize in .NET/C# and React/TypeScript ecosystems, with a solid PHP/Symfony foundation. I’m currently founding Flow — a multi-platform hospitality & retail SaaS — architecting a .NET 10 Clean Architecture API, a Next.js 16 dashboard, a React Native mobile app, and a WPF desktop POS, with end-to-end ownership across backend, frontend, mobile, desktop, and DevOps. Concurrently, I’m contracting for a UK company, leading the frontend migration of an enterprise survey & analytics platform to a new Next.js/React web application. I’m open to full-stack roles in .NET, Symfony, or modern TypeScript stacks — remote or relocation considered.
