Hey, I'm Tonika. You found me!

A Software Engineer
who thrives on building simple applications - because
Less is More.

Originally from Bulgaria, I spent over a decade living in the UK before relocating to Miami, FL a few years ago.
This international perspective, combined with a non-traditional career path in travel and health, gave me a unique appreciation for precision, process optimization, and clear communication. That experience is what fuels my passion for engineering: I'm driven by the challenge of finding the most elegant and simple solution to any problem. I enjoy turning complex requirements into useful, low-maintenance applications for individuals and businesses alike. Less Code > More Clarity.
I've previously developed solutions across the Hospitality (Marketing), Health Tech, and FinTech sectors. When I'm not problem-solving, I'm often enjoying the Florida beaches, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
