One of the youngest in our team is Daniel Goshev. He always means business and shows professionalism at work. Working with him goes smoothly with pleasure and lots of jokes.
Daniel joined our team when he graduated in the 7th edition of "Programming 101 with Python" course. Now he's the most passionate developer in the team about FrontEnd development and he's always coming up with some useful ideas.

My name is Daniel Goshev. I've been working as a web developer using JavaScript(React) & Python(Django) for more than 3 years. I am at HackSoft because I find it to be a fantastic place to work & grow as a software developer and person.
My favorite technology is probably React. I like the mindset I've built since I've begun using it - dividing everything into small components and building something significant with them. It reminds me of LEGO.
"Бачкай" which, according to some website, is translated as "keep one's nose to the grindstone" - I have it as a wallpaper on my phone.
CSSTricks is my go-to website when I want to learn something new. Every single day there's something new about CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and everything else related to web design and web development.
Probably that I've adopted minimalism in the last years. It helps me stay focused on what I am trying to achieve, minimizing any forms of distractions that could come around.
Emacs, although it's probably not for everyone. I find it to be quite a good text editor.
If you're using React and you're tired of the awful loaders that you can usually spot - React Loading Skeleton is a great package to help you build a skeleton loading page.
Even when you feel like you know nothing or that you should quit - you shouldn't. Everything takes time, effort and persistence. Also, don't think that your path should follow everybody else's. Create your own path.
