Building scalable web apps with Django — automating everything else with Python
A passionate software developer working through the full SoftUni Python curriculum — from fundamentals to advanced OOP, web development, and modern DevOps practices. I love turning complex problems into clean, maintainable code.
I'm Veselin Vatrachki, a software developer based in Brussels, Belgium, currently enrolled in the SoftUni Python track. My journey into programming started with a curiosity about how digital products are built — and quickly became a full commitment to mastering the craft.
Through SoftUni's intensive curriculum I've worked my way from the basics of Python syntax all the way through object-oriented design, advanced data structures, full-stack Django development, and now DevOps tooling. Each course has added a new dimension to the way I think about software.
When I'm not writing code I'm reading about system design, contributing to open-source projects on GitHub, and mentoring fellow students in the SoftUni community forums.
"Every bug fixed is a lesson learned. Every feature shipped is a story told."
A structured, project-driven curriculum covering the full Python ecosystem — from first principles to production-ready web and DevOps skills.
Software University (SoftUni) · 2023
Foundations of programming using Python. Covered variables, data types, conditional logic, loops, and basic functions. Learned to think algorithmically and solve structured problems from scratch.
Software University (SoftUni) · 2023
Deepened core Python knowledge with collections, string manipulation, file I/O, and error handling. Built real-world scripts and small utilities applying clean coding principles.
Software University (SoftUni) · 2024
Explored advanced language features including comprehensions, generators, decorators, iterators, and functional programming patterns. Applied these to build efficient, idiomatic Python.
Software University (SoftUni) · 2024
Mastered object-oriented design in Python: classes, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and SOLID principles. Learned design patterns and how to architect maintainable, scalable systems.
Software University (SoftUni) · 2024–2025
Full-stack web development with Django. Building MVC applications, REST APIs with Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL integration, authentication systems, and deploying to cloud platforms.
Software University (SoftUni) · 2025–2026
Modern DevOps practices including containerisation with Docker, orchestration concepts, CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, infrastructure as code, and Linux server administration.

A selection of projects built during coursework and independently — each one a deliberate exercise in applying what I've learned in a real context.
Project 01
A fully-featured blogging platform built with Django. Users can register, write rich Markdown posts, comment, like, and follow other authors. Includes an admin dashboard and full-text search.
Project 02
A command-line task management tool designed to showcase Python OOP principles. Uses polymorphism, abstract classes, and design patterns to model a complete project management system.
rich libraryProject 03
A complete automated deployment pipeline for a Django application. Covers the full lifecycle from code push to production: testing, building a Docker image, and deploying to a VPS via SSH.
Project 04
A Django web app that consumes the OpenWeatherMap API to display real-time weather data, 5-day forecasts, and historical comparisons for any city worldwide.

A Python scraper that monitors product prices across multiple e-commerce sites and sends email alerts when prices drop below a user-defined threshold.
Project 06
A production-ready expense tracking REST API built with Django REST Framework. Features JWT authentication, full CRUD on categories and transactions, and monthly summary analytics endpoints.
