Bio
Ivan Mitev
I had the pleasure to work with Nikolay Zhelev for 9 years in Validata. He is simply a fantastic co-worker! Nikolay has always been very helpful and cooperative, down-to-earth, calm and clear-headed. He has a broad technical knowledge and excellent skills in software design and development. Nikolay has always been very responsible and enthusiastic to get things done. I would work together with him anytime!

There are no two opinions on that - Nikolay is the the golden fish from the catch of Validata Group. He is the absolutely top developer of the company and a person that everybody not only wants to work with but fights to do so - at least from my impression and personal experience in Validata. He is a senior of the senior devs and a natural problem solver, he is quick works cleanly (unlike his desktop :)) and explains himself well in front of Clients. Nikolay sees the root cause of the issue from a distance and knows how to solve it and how to communicate it further in the quickest and best way. He will never say to you that he will help - it's rather that you would chase him for a solution, but he will do it silently so that the management would think that you've done it. He would wake up at 3 a.m. in the night to help a colleague on project, but would never point himself out - just because there is no need. I think he well knows he is the best, but is from those people who will not boast, because they remember where they started from.
