Peter Kostov
Lesson learned by 4 years of F# in production
I'm a simple guy, who loves to code and do anything tech related. I like to spend time exploring new technologies and trying them on personal projects, but unfortunately, I rarely finish any of them. I also have an unhealthy interest in math and physics, although I'm pretty bad at both.
And maybe the final thing that may sound interesting, in the last 3-4 years I'm participating in Bulgarian folk dance ensemble. We are often going on performance all over the country and couple of times abroad.
