I&#8217;m from Sofia, Bulgaria<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your specialty?<br \/>\n<\/strong>My specialty is jack-of-all-trades. No, just kidding \ud83d\ude42 I&#8217;ve been designing and developing WordPress sites for quite a while and have gone through different roles in this process. Currently, my day-to-day work consists mostly of WordPress architecture design and a bit of frontend dev.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many languages do you speak?<\/strong><br \/>\nBulgarian is my native tongue, I&#8217;m fluent in English and very beginner wanna-be in Spanish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your first encounter with WordPress?<br \/>\n<\/strong>My first encounter with WordPress was way back in 2003 when Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little forked the b2 cafelog software, which then I was using for my personal blog. In the period 2003-2006 I was using it for various personal projects, as well as my blog. Since 2007 WordPress has been the platform of choice for me for all projects that I do &#8211; personal or for clients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the best WordPress advice you have ever received?<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8222;Solve your clients needs first.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your motivation to speak at WordCamp Sofia 2017?<\/strong><br \/>\nI love my craft and what I do. I want to spread the word about good practices that my team and I have come up to use on a daily basis with the whole WordPress community.<\/p>\n<div><strong>How did you you choose the topic of your talk?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>In my experience I&#8217;ve got to know that developing a site is not the end game of a project. It&#8217;s the way a client afterwards uses the site and how he\/she manages to work with the content. That&#8217;s why I want to focus a bit and turn developers&#8217; attention to how things are used and try to get them in the shoes of their clients.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>When was the last time you visited a public library?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Maybe while I was doing my MA thesis.
