My name is Vladimir Ivanov, and I am a senior developer keen on web technologies. I have more than nine years of experience but I still believe the best of my carеer is yet to come.

I have no university degree in IT, but I have practical knowledge working as PHP and JavaScript developer and a real enthusiasm to learn new technologies. My work is the proof that the engineering approach is more mindset than professional degree.

For the past nine years, I have worked with small teams and enterprises. I have been part of the development of one of most visited adult web sites worldwide; the third biggest car shipping company in U.S. Montway Inc; one of the first group shopping websites in Bulgaria deals.bg. My professional background includes valuable experience as freelancer, too.
