Simeon Petkov
I am Simeon Petkov - a student in the High School of Digital Sciences SoftUni BUDITEL. I am proud to study at this amazing school because I have the opportunity to develop my interests in the field of computer science.
I am a developer and learner with a passion for new experience, education and entertainment and I am a positive person who sees opportunity in everything...
I approach projects in which I have the opportunity to create something new with enthusiasm and energy.
As the born one day before me, but 91 years earlier Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman says:

Java Full-Stack Developer - Mission Accomplished!
After getting a Java Web Developer Diploma, my next goal was acquiring a Full-Stack Developer Diploma as well. And a few weeks after receiving my first degree in an official ceremony at the Software University, I already have it!
These certifications serve as a testament to my comprehensive understanding of both front-end and back-end technologies, as well as my proficiency in integrating them to create seamless, end-to-end solutions.
The Java Full-Stack Developer Diploma not only validates my technical skills but also demonstrates my commitment to professional growth and a readiness to tackle complex projects in a dynamic tech landscape - an important achievement and a big leap forward in my career development.
A proud IBMer
In early July 2024, I had the amazing chance to be a part of the IBM Summer School Internship. I managed to learn a lot in a short time span beyond purely technical knowledge. Now I understand why IBM claims its greatest invention is the IBMer.
I’m grateful for the recommendation by one of my teachers and the opportunity that SoftUni BUDITEL gives to its students to immerse themselves in the corporate environment of a technological giant!
Java Web Developer - Mission Accomplished!
When I started this blog, I had to set certain goals. The most important of these was taking the full set of courses and getting a Java Web Developer diploma while still in high school.
Well, I’m proud to say it’s now done! I am now a proud holder of an excellent Java Web Developer diploma! It’s amazing that I’m able to learn software engineering while still in high school! Thank you, Software University!
In order to acquire the diploma, I had to take a series of courses and exams:
Programming Fundamentals
Java Advanced
Java OOP
Spring Data
Spring Fundamentals
Spring Advanced
JS Front-End
MySQL
Programming Basics
HTML & CSS
SoftUniada – Software Projects
SoftUniada - Competitive programming

My first participation in the Student Science Session of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences brought me first prize!
I won the prize at the 10th scientific session of the High School Students' Institute of BAS with my project A simulation approach for a more complete immersion in the Metaverse.
Recognition in the national competition "Young Talents"
I am honored to be the first student to represent SoftUni Svetlina in the National competition "Young Talents" of the Ministry of Education and Science.
SEPience was awarded from the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens Bulgaria Milena Momerin at a ceremony at the Ministry of Education and Science.
SEPience won prestigious awards again!
At the 23rd Student Section of the Spring Conference of the Union of Mathematicians in Bulgaria (April 10 – 13, 2023, Borovets), my project won several awards from the High School Student Institute of Mathematics and Informatics:
Certificate for excellent performance and medal with the project SEPience – Virtual Lab
K-TRIO Award for Scientific Software
Participation in the European Night of Scientists 2023 with the project SEPience – Virtual Lab
Invitation to participate in the 23rd Summer Research School with international participation
1st place at the SoftUniada for SEPience!
The virtual lab was rated 100/100 in the Junior Web Projects category (under sixteen years). The jury was very impressed by the project and this top score placed me third overall and first in my category.
This recognition is extremely important for me, because SoftUniada is a unique competition for programmers, judged by programmers that includes both competitive programming, software and web projects.
