Aleksandar Angelov says for himself:

"Hi! I'm Aleksandar. I am a full stack web developer from Bulgaria. I fell in love with programming as a teenager and after experimenting with different programming languages and found my vocation is writing code. My first love was Java, but with the technology boom around mobile devices, I decided to explore this area for several years as well. Over the last years, I’ve beеn keen on Python and Django due to their simplicity, efficiency, and versatile use and I’ve grown fond of Natural Language Programming and the NLTK. I have founded my own company, CodeBrew, in 2017, and my team and I are currently helping numerous companies on their way to growth and success."

Ventsislav Tashev is a software developer at HackSoft, interested in Python & DevOps.
