Hello, I'm Viktor Bakardzhiev. I'm a full-stack developer with 8 years of experience, specializing in WordPress and React (Next.js).

About me

From a young age, computers have been a fascination of mine. While pursuing my Master's at Law, I delved into the world of WordPress development. It wasn't just a pastime—it quickly morphed into a passion. As I delved deeper into the digital domain, my interest blossomed beyond WordPress, leading me to expand my skill set to full-stack development. The mental gymnastics involved in problem-solving through code are something I find intensely rewarding. I’m proficient with React, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB, and have a solid foundation in TypeScript and Prisma. With the tech landscape being as dynamic as it is, I’m always keen on wrapping my head around the latest frameworks and technologies. Currently, I’m on the lookout for a full-time software developer role where I can mesh my legal background with my tech skills, and contribute to innovative projects.

The professional journey thus far has been quite the learning curve. I initially cut my teeth in the marketing arena at Deep Blue Marketing from September 2016 to December 2019. The experience was a great springboard, which later landed me the role of Lead Programmer at The Brains, a UK-based advertising firm. My freelance stint also saw me collaborating with some bright minds on projects that spanned from startup consulting to creating user-centric digital products.

When I’m not immersed in code or contemplating legal intricacies, I’m likely exploring historical narratives, enjoying a philosophical discussion, or indulging in a movie or a gaming session. Amidst all this, the cherished moments spent with my girlfriend are the perfect blend of personal fulfillment and relaxation.
