Dimitar Panayotov’s Summary

** Integration and interoperability: finding out how to connect very different systems (different OS, different language).

** Refactoring: modify a system without adding or removing functionality to make it more manageable, or to improve performance, or to provide connectors to new technologies.

** Design: much more oriented in server kind of systems. I handle complex multi-threading scenarios with pleasure.

** Standartization: it's my favorite to refactor existing systems that used error-prone protocols (i.e. with holes in their standards) to use standard protocols as XML or newer protocols like IMAPv4.

Dimitar Panayotov’s Specialties:

** Server architecture

** XML technologies

** Doing integration and interoperability of very different systems.

** Doing deep technical researches.
