Software Developer & Freelance Web Designer

Portrait of Vladimir Panev

About me

Hi all, I’m Vladi. I’m 31 from Razlog, Bulgaria, a small but beautiful mountain town. I’m a software developer with 4 years of experience and a curiosity that keeps me building, learning, and exploring. I love turning ideas into software that people enjoy using—whether I’m solving a tricky problem, exploring new technologies, or testing the latest AI models to see what’s possible.

Before code, there was volleyball. As a former player, I bring the same teamwork, focus, and drive to improve into my work. Away from the keyboard, you’ll usually find me lifting weights, hiking mountain trails, or heading out on my bike. I’m happiest when I’m making progress, learning something new, and enjoying the challenge along the way.

Interests & freelance projects

My 9-5 ends. My curiosity doesn’t.

After hours, the laptop stays open. I’m testing the latest AI models, building websites for clients, and turning “I wish this existed” into apps I actually use. Some projects start with a personal frustration. Others with a wild idea. My favourite part? When something I built for myself becomes useful to someone else.

  • Testing the latest AI models

  • Building websites for clients

  • Turning ideas into iOS apps I use

Not my words. Theirs.

Straight from the people I built websites for.

  • magdalena-esoterica.com

    For two years I struggled to find the right person — someone who would understand what my work as a psychologist and astrologer involves and turn it into a website. I had my share of disappointments, failed attempts and unprofessional treatment behind me.

    Working with Vladi was on a completely different level: fast, straightforward and professional. He recreated exactly what I had pictured in terms of look, ease of use and functionality, with attention to every detail. He was calm, patient and open to every change I asked for in the design and the features.

    Since the site went live I feel far more confident, because I finally have a space that truly reflects my identity and my profession. Clients sense a higher level of professionalism and trust, and the reactions to the site have been extremely positive. I would recommend Vladi to anyone who wants to take their business to a higher level.

    Before we started working with Vladi, we didn’t have a website of our own, and we were missing a convenient place online where clients could find the information they need about the sports center.

    Communication throughout the whole project was great — quick, easy and without any unnecessary complications.

    Since the site went live, we have been getting positive feedback from our clients. They tell us it is now much easier and more convenient to find the information they need online.

    Before working with Vladi, we didn’t have a website at all. Since I already knew him through other contacts and was familiar with the quality of his work, I decided to trust him with the project.

    With the fast pace of everyday business, we didn’t always have enough time for long brainstorming sessions or project meetings, so we gave Vladi the freedom to rely on his creative instinct — and the result exceeded our expectations. The website turned out modern, professional, and perfectly suited to our company.

    Since the website went live, we have already started receiving new enquiries and more people are becoming aware of our business. With the additional Google optimisation we are planning, we expect our online visibility to grow even further.

    Before we started working with Vladi Panev, we did not have a website of our own. Today we have a professionally built, modern and functional site that presents our business the way we wanted it to.

    Working with Vladi was easy, quick and pleasant, and the whole project was delivered in a short time. We are very happy with the result, and I would recommend Vladi to anyone looking for a well-made, professional website.
