Valentin Bojinov studied computer programming at the Technological School of Electronic Systems in Sofia, Bulgaria, a college within the Technical University of Sofia. He was introduced to programming there and realized that his career would be in research and development. He holds a BSc in telecommunication and information engineering. Then, his interest in data transmission grew, and he ventured into B2B (business-to-business) communication. He is currently pursuing his MSc in software development. Valentin is an expert in Java, SOAP, RESTful web services, and B2B integration.
A few years after he started his career as a .NET developer, he realized that B2B and SOA were his passion. He then moved to SAP, where he contributed to the development of the web services stack of the SAP JEE platform. He currently works as a senior Java developer for the Bulgarian branch of Seeburger AG, a leader in the B2B and MFT solutions market. There, he develops and maintains several B2B communication adapters, including web services and SAP adapters.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank my soulmate Galya for putting up with me and with my decision to work on this title. Also, many thanks to my lovely parents, my dad Emil for encouraging me to study computers 20 years ago, and to mummy Anka for always being there for me! Special thanks to all my mentors from TUES for showing me how to learn efficiently and to never give up, the credit here goes mainly to Lubomir Chorbadjiev. I also have to mention my extraordinary colleagues I had the chance to study with! Guys, thanks for always being such good friends and experts! I know I haven’t recently shown on our regular monthly gathering, so next time beer is on me!
