Hello VMware!
If you follow me on twitter, you probably already know that, but it has been 2 months since I have left Obecto and started working at VMware Bulgaria.
This is a big change in my career and again it wasn't that easy.
Working at Obecto was really cool! The people I have met there are very enthusiastic professionals and best at what they do. They are one of the Flex pioneers in Bulgaria, making great applications and as you know I am a Flex geek. I've learnt a lot working with guys like Todor and Vladi and all other colleagues. I had the opportunity to work on a big, unique and EXTREMELY interesting project, doing things that I am willing to bet no one had done with Flex. It was a pleasure working there and I am going to miss the atmosphere and the whole team. I can only wish them to continue with their passion making great projects and best of luck!
As I said it was fun, but I decided that it is time to move on. I cannot share a lot about my experiences so far at VMware, but I think it is great. I am still getting used working at such a large company with lots of colleagues and so much products and I am still getting confused sometimes with this "Inception thing" (VM inside of a VM) ::) Literally I am overwhelmed by information, but still want more. I like how I am constantly motivated to learn new things and be better. I also find it outstanding how developers are provoked to innovate and come up with new ideas, and how they are acknowledged.
A lot of things have happened these two months and I am so excited for the future, I am sure it will be interesting.
So what is next?
Be more awesome, of course! :) I will continue with this blog and I will try to write interesting posts as before. I think now is a good time to say that this will continue to be my personal blog and will not represent thoughts and strategies of VMware
P.S. And since I am writing this when the hype is on whether Flex/Flash will live... I am sure there will be more mind-blowing websites and applications built with them.

I made it
I am happy to announce that I have successfully graduated the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at Sofia University "st. Kliment Ohridski" with bachelor's degree in computer science.
You might ask, why I am so happy to write about that? The thing is that 4 years ago I graduated the Professional High School of Tourism in Sofia, with degree in hotel management. However even when I started studying there, my passion was in computers. The last 2 years in high school I had to study hard mathematics at home, and at private courses, because, as you might have guesses, at my high-school the level of math education was not that high. So with lots of hard work I was the only one from my school to be accepted at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics. And that was win No. 1
Win No. 2 - my bachelor degree, came even harder and tougher. Imagine the jokes that I received from some of my co-students, that had graduated high schools school with intensive learning of mathematics, and their belief that I will not be able to make it. Challenge accepted! That is why now the taste of success is even sweeter.
The whole thing that I am trying to say is that, these 4 years proved to me that nothing is impossible as long as you wish for it hard!
Now I am off to achieve the next big challenge!
