I've always been curious about how stuff around me worked; and if they could get any better, or be more effective. When I found out that there was a faculty for making things run in more effective ways, all I wanted to study was computer engineering. So my adventure in Bulgaria started in 2007. My 5 year study had been a great journey. Studying in a technical university and living abroad were great life experiences.
