Meet Nevelina Hristova, Product Manager
Can you explain as simply as possible what you do at Telerik Academy?
It's like being the protagonist in a video game. I am on an epic adventure, tasked to guide the team through the treacherous paths of requirements, deadlines and constraints. And the main quest is creating digital treasures that enhance the player's experience and leave a lasting impact in the virtual realm.
What is your favorite part of your job?
The team. I've said this numerous times. I am surrounded by extraordinary beings who inspire, uplift and make the journey truly memorable.
What is the last book you read?
I recently finished The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin and An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield as a poly reader. The first is the opening of a sci-fi series, and the best thing about it was being thought-provoking, weaving together complex themes such as astrophysics, philosophy, and human nature. I also learned tons of interesting (and quite shocking) facts about China's Cultural Revolution. The latter is a memoir of the author's career as an astronaut. The best part about it was the exciting reminder that life is hard but can also be beautiful if you approach it with a sense of humour, curiosity, resilience, and humility.
Tell us one curious fact about you:
I am a melophile and pretty much addicted to experiencing music live. I lost count a while ago, but so far, I must have visited over 800 live shows worldwide.
Meet Venelina Brigova, Junior Administration & Operations Specialist
Can you explain as simply as possible what you do at Telerik Academy?
As a Junior Administration and Operations Specialist, I offer administrative assistance, work closely with the PM team, and generate invoices for students and partners.
What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of the job is the opportunity to work closely with my colleagues and collaborate with them on some pretty cool projects. I totally appreciate their professionalism and value our daily communication as a team.
What is the last book you read?
The last book I read was 1984 by George Orwell. It is an awesome book that shows what can happen in a society when the government has too much power and controls everything. It's crazy how they use language, technology, and information to control people's thoughts and actions. It really makes you think about how important freedom is and how much we take it for granted.
Tell us one curious fact about you:
My personality type is 52% extroverted and 48% introverted.
