Hi there! 🙋♂️
I am Dimitar Banchev, a software developer passionate about technology 👨💻, calisthenics 🤸, finances 💰, tinkering and much more...
I am the person that believes, learning and doing will make you successful.
That's why I like to constantly try new technologies and learn new things.
Here I will be sharing insights from my own experiences.
So keep your eyes open 👀, because there might be something valuable for you too.
Background
My fascination with computers started at a young age, when I spent countless hours playing games.
As I grew older, my curiosity had grown beyond just playing, I
wanted to understand how everything worked behind the scenes.
I started tinkering with hardware, assembling computers, exploring
different kinds of software, and trying to create with my limited
knowledge.
This natural curiosity set me on a path toward a deeper
understanding of technology. 🤓
Eager to turn my passion into a career 💰, I made the decision to
leave my hometown and enroll in a vocational high school focused on
system programming.
It was there that I began to uncover the potential of computers.
The experiences and knowledge gained there, fueled even further my
motivation to learn more and refine my skills as a future developer.
Wanting to try more new things, I made the choice to continue my
education abroad, pursuing a degree in computer science.
This choice created many new opportunities for me to dive into
cutting-edge technologies 🚀, and broaden my understanding of
software development.
I was also fortunate to gain hands-on experience as a working
student at a software company, there I've learned even more technologies and met with many great people.
Skills
I've tried many different technologies and have worked in many different fields.
I have experience with languages such as C#, Java, Go, TypeScript, JavaScript...
In addition, I have experience with building full-stack, CLI applications, and microservices.
Currently, I am interested in web development, and trying as many things as possible.
PS: Recently I've also learned more about web dev. Specifically desigining web pages, JavaScript, React, React Router.
Highlights
While being a working student I built a full-stack store application
using spring boot.
Both the frontend and backend were using mTLS, which I didn't even
know what it was before making it work.
It's purpose was to be used for testing by a Static application
security testing(SAST) software.
Also I had the chance to contribute to a major
FOSS
security product.
Again used for SAST scanning, called
Gosec.
Goals
- Programming: This is the reason this website exists. Because I think, it is a small step towards getting better at programming.
- Personal/Social: Currently reading a book about the human behaviour, and have planned to read more books in general.
- Calisthenics: The goal as of today (06.10.2024) is to learn
plance and to do more repetitions on handstand pushups.
(Update 04.01.2026: Still working on planche, but there is progress!)
I hope to achieve all things mentioned above, and will also try to document all of my progress here.
Hobbies
- Calisthenics - Here's my workouts channel if you are interested: @expp121_workouts
- Reading books
- Watching courses and lectures
- Playing video games
Where to find me
As maybe you have already seen, the bottom of the page contains
possible ways to find me on the internet.
But for your conviniece I will place them here also.
