Lately, my focus is on the .NET web framework Blazor that runs on WebAssembly directly in the browser. 🤖 Currently working on LLM-powered AI solutions by bringing AI capabilities to the Telerik web components and AI Assistants by leveraging AI technologies like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), Model Context Protocol (MCP), agentic workflows, agent evals, WebMCP, A2UI, AG-UI: https://www.telerik.com/blazor-coding-assistant 🎁 I am the creator and co-organizer of the "Drinks with Progress" IT events in my current company Progress - a series of live tech meetups in the Progress Sofia office focused on various topics related to the IT industry. The community has grown to over 620 members. https://www.meetup.com/progressbulgaria 💡 I studied at a high school called OMG (yes, for real) and graduated Telerik Academy (the original version - when it was part of Telerik, not the current entity) while doing my bachelor's degree in Software Engineering at Sofia University (FMI). 🐙 Find me on GitHub: https://github.com/stamo-gochev
