About
The person behind the firm, the approach, and the work.
Stefan Portev
Senior Solutions Architect
Solutions architect with 10+ years of experience turning ambiguous requirements into clean, buildable designs. The last 4 years have been focused almost entirely on AI, large language models, big data platforms, and cloud-native architectures.
Based in Sofia, Bulgaria, primarily working with clients across Western Europe. The focus is on high-impact engagements where technical depth and speed of delivery both matter — not drawn-out projects with unclear outcomes.

Philosophy
The best architecture work happens at the intersection of technical rigour and business clarity. Most projects fail not because of bad engineering, but because the design never accounted for how the business actually works.
By leveraging AI throughout the delivery process, the goal is simple: bring the full weight of a senior architecture practice to every engagement, regardless of scale, without the overhead that usually comes with it.
