Plamen Petkov is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building backend systems, microservices, and mobile platform runtimes across startups and established companies. He excels in ambiguity—designing NestJS microservices, Kubernetes/Docker deployments, CI/CD pipelines and test infrastructure while stepping into interim team lead roles during turbulent times. His background spans big-data SaaS integrations, Android runtime work on NativeScript, payment-platform engineering and blockchain-influenced distributed systems, giving him a rare blend of low-level runtime insight and cloud-native service delivery. A strong open-source advocate, he experiments in a homelab automating self-hosted systems and shares knowledge through tech talks and teaching engagements. Peers value his ownership mindset and ability to connect across diverse teams to bring order to messy problems. Notably, he pairs production-focused engineering with a curiosity for fault-tolerant design inspired by blockchain and systems work.
