My name is Krum Cheshmedjiev, I am a freelance programmer and consultant. I am Bulgarian and live and work in Bulgaria, on the Balkan Peninsula in Europe. Besides programming, I enjoy working with my hands and my head, as well as reading books, growing plants, hiking, but since I don't have much time to do all this :-/, I practice Yoga instead...
I have over 45 years of experience in many kinds of programming, including over 18 years of Internet development (WEB2.0, LAMP, AJAX, SPA, asynchronous distributed networks, AI...).
I use more than 30 programming languages and I have experience creating all types of programs myself. You can find more info in my resume.
Please find some of my projects in my samples page. Sorry that most of them can't be shown, because either they are no longer usable (like CAD-engineering package for the ancient "Apple II"), or they are not fully created by me (like some fixes, new features, etc.), or they are in Bulgarian and you cannot see anything if your computer does not have Bulgarian Unicode fonts.
But if you still want to see my old jobs, check my portfolio page.
I always look for interesting projects. My favourite joke is that I have already created everything that you can imagine, and several things that you can't imagine either :-)
My primary goal is quality, so I will spend much time to understand what exactly you need. I also ask a lot of questions regarding the project... Did you like Trivia? Be aware... :-)
My requirements (which must be compatible with my offer below):
- Remote work;
- I prefer to work alone or in small groups. I need the possibility of talking with owners, users, SysAdmins, designers...
- Emergency line (possibility to reach you in minutes - cell phone, SMS, pager...) - important for online projects;
What I can offer:
- 99.99% uptime for my online projects;
- Emergency line: a response within several minutes to any problem (including fixes “on the fly”);
- Lifetime support and upgrades.
You will always get a detailed description of the work completed before you are required to pay. Also I don't calculate the time, I need to fix my mistakes - they are not your problem.
Probably you may not be able to reach me by phone, but we can chat online in some IM (which has additional advantages - I save our conversations and read them later, instead of asking the same questions again, this way I save a lot of your time). Please find your favourite on my contacts page. I know that typing is slower than speaking, but I really prefer typing, for two reasons - sound files are too big to save, and the contents of these files are difficult to search. Text files have no such problems... So I don't use voice, nor video conferencing :-/
I look for "joint venture" with someone, who can manage a high-tech idea of mine. Are you interested ?
