I've spent my entire career in video game development. I am currently working for a 3rd person action MOBA called Predecessor (https://www.predecessorgame.com/) Before that, I was at Ubisoft Sofia on Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and its 3rd DLC - Dawn of Ragnarok, and even further back I have also worked with some of biggest game studios on AAA titles including PUBG, Minecraft, Guild Wars 2, Sea of Thieves among others.
I've had a fair share of experience away from traditional game development and in bringing the blockchain/crypto world and gaming closer.
In that time, I've led teams and (sub)products of various sizes and various people. I've taken responsibilities for different aspects of product and team management:
- On the technical side - design and architecture, CI pipelines, automation & testing, code reviews
- On the organisational side - planning & roadmap, JIRA management
- On the people side - hiring people, performance evaluations, 1:1s. Keeping the team spirit high is the one I swear by is the most critical factor for success in any organisation.
I teach many of the introductory programming courses (Intro to Programming, OOP, Data structures) a course on "Design and Architecture of Game Engines and Unreal Engine" in the University of Sofia. Slides for the latter in English are available online at http://nikoladimitroff.github.io/Game-Engine-Architecture/
I enjoy programming in general and I am happy to talk about all of its aspects.

5 out of 5 stars
Nikola is fast to understand needs and brilliant to solve problems. He assigned tasks and review my works any time i asked during our meetings. Really high c++ level.
5 out of 5 stars
Nikola is very knowledgable in C++ and all the software techniques. We discussed about the templates, type traits, interface stability and etc. Although limited by time, a lot of them we only touched the surface. But it's already very helpful for me to understand the concept. Overall I'll recommend Nikola to everyone.
5 out of 5 stars
Nikola has been very helpful in my programming journey so far! He's been patient with my questions and has explained things succinctly when I didn't understand them. His mentorship has helped me understand the gaming industry better, and I would recommend him to anyone else who's an aspiring programmer.
