About Me
I am a computer science student at Sofia University, currently in my 4th year. I have a strong passion for computer graphics and game development, and I am eager to apply my skills in real-world projects.
In my free time, I enjoy exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, and working on personal coding projects that challenge my abilities and expand my knowledge.
Personal Projects
YoghurtGL
A C++ gui-less game engine using ECS built with OpenGL. Features a PBR renderer and a GPU path tracer.
LL(1) grammar parser
A C++ library of tools for Pushdown Automata and Finite State Transducers. Implements a parser generator for LL(1) grammars.
CPU Path Tracer - Chaos Camp Project
A CPU path tracer with two-level acceleration structure, paired with a scene exporter from Blender. This project was part of the 2025 Chaos Camp
C++ HTTP Server
A simple HTTP server written in C++ with multithreading support. Implements an interface similar to that of Node.js Express.
N-body simulation
A study of implementation of parallel N-body simulation. Uses YoghurtGL as a base and run on GPU
System Programming Project
A multithreaded task system in C++ with priorities aim for real-time-ness. This is a university course project.
Pacman
A simplified Pacman clone made using YoghurtGL. Made in a week for a job interview.
Procedural 3D Assets
A collection of procedural 3D assets for Three.js projects. Includes furniture, electronics, and household items. Examples float in the background of this page.
