About
Kaloyan Stoyanov is a builder from Bulgaria. By 14 he had earned a hockey scholarship abroad - leaving home to compete at an elite level across Europe and North America, representing his country in international competition, and graduating while maintaining serious athletic commitments. He built the mental infrastructure for high performance long before he wrote a line of code.
That same standard - show up, do the hard work, take it seriously - shapes everything he builds today. He's not chasing what's trending. He identifies real problems, builds toward real solutions, and cares enough about the outcome to build things properly.
At 14, Kaloyan earned a hockey scholarship to Austria - leaving home to compete in elite programs across Europe and eventually North America. He represented the Bulgarian national team in international competition and graduated from the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Austria, before going on to play in the United States.
Performing at that level across three countries by 17 required constant recalibration - new environments, new systems, always with something real on the line. That's not a background that stays behind you. It's a foundation.
B2B SaaS targeting the operational cost of meetings - a real, unsolved problem in most mid-market and enterprise teams. The platform converts meetings into structured reports, action items, and follow-ups automatically, integrating directly into the tools teams already use. Built on production-grade infrastructure and designed for enterprise deployment from day one. Currently in active development.
An AI automation agency built to remove operational dead weight from small and growing businesses. The work centred on deploying AI receptionists that handle inbound calls and inquiries around the clock, and integrating those systems directly into clients' CRMs so nothing falls through the cracks. Less about selling automation as a concept, more about making it work inside real operations.
Built a full internal operations platform for a football kit retailer running two physical stores in Bulgaria. The system replaces manual Excel tracking, hand-managed inventory, and disconnected checkout flows with a single PWA. Covers AI-enhanced product photography via Claid.ai, Code 128 barcode inventory, automated myPOS payment integration with webhook-driven stock sync, OpenCart website publishing, and a live analytics dashboard across both stores. React + TypeScript frontend, Python FastAPI backend, PostgreSQL.
Designed and built algorithmic trading systems that operate across multiple exchanges, identifying and executing on pricing discrepancies in real time. A rigorous exercise in systems thinking - where latency matters, edge cases are expensive, and the logic has to be precise. Built and learned the hard way.
Multiple products built and tested across different verticals - automation, AI tools, and digital services. Each one was a real build with a real hypothesis. Some worked, most didn't. All of it deliberate. The ability to move fast, test honestly, and cut what isn't working is a skill that has to be practiced.
Worked across the full backend stack - cloud deployment on Vercel and AWS, PostgreSQL database design, server-side application logic, REST and WebSocket APIs, Docker containerization, and S3 for storage. Strong preference for understanding the system end-to-end rather than operating at a single layer. The decisions that can't be easily undone are worth getting right the first time.
01
AfterwordsAI and Automise weren't assignments. They came from seeing a real problem and deciding to solve it. No permission, no roadmap. Just the pattern of finding a gap and owning the outcome.
02
The only way to know if something works is to build it. Every system, every product, every experiment was made by shipping first and learning from what's real. Execution compounds. Theory doesn't.
03
Competing internationally as a teenager, training across three countries, performing under real pressure - that's not a backstory. It's a foundation. Composure, adaptability, and delivery when it matters most are things earned, not assumed.
