Hosted By Velizar Borisov, Atlassian Administrator Boriana Todorova, Community Leader I'm a senior technology leader with 20+ years of experience in quality assurance, process improvement, project delivery, and organizational transformation. I specialize in building high-performing teams, and bridging the gap between business goals and tech execution. My mission is simple: I help systems and people work better — starting with myself, and never stopping at “good enough.” I thrive where complexity meets urgency — whether it's redesigning inefficient workflows, elevating engineering culture, or aligning delivery with long-term value. I bring a strong foundation in internal auditing practices, ensuring that systems are not only efficient but also aligned with key compliance and quality standards like ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 — without losing sight of the human side of work. I’ve also developed a strong interest in artificial intelligence — not just as a tool, but as a transformational force. I’m exploring how AI can enhance quality, automate the right parts of work, and help us build more adaptive, intelligent systems that serve both business and society responsibly. I believe the future of tech depends not just on innovation, but on responsibility, empathy, and structure that serves both people and planet.

Crypto winter? По-скоро crypto blizzard. Пазарът отново е в режим на търпение. Биткойн се движи около ключови нива без ясен пробив, обемите са по-умерени, институционалният интерес е селективен, а волатилността напомня, че увереността още не е напълно възстановена. Вместо шум, този период предлага нещо по-ценно – контекст. На срещата ще обсъдим: * Къде се намираме в цикъла и дали наистина сме в класически bear market * Ролята на ETF-ите и институционалния капитал в текущата среда * Рисковете при централизираните борси и уроците от последните инциденти * Какво може да очакваме през следващите месеци и как да подходим стратегически Фокусът ще бъде върху анализ, а не върху прогнози тип „следващата седмица сме на луната“. Безплатни напитки (защото някой трябва да поддържа нивото на оптимизъм) Добра компания, която разбира, че колкото по-down е пазарът, толкова по-весело е общо-вземането на решения... Ще оставe и важното време за въпроси и дискусия. Ако пазарът е тих – ние не бива да бъдем!

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
