🧩 Nikola Stoyanov — Artist, Developer, and Infrastructure Theorist

Contemporary artist + technologist from Bulgaria working across visual culture, cloud architecture, and digital infrastructures.
This GitHub space hosts my ongoing experiments in web-based exhibitions, art–tech platforms, and critical software infrastructures.

Webdev minimalism, human workable ad hoc per client frameworks and implementations.

🧠 About Me

I’m Nikola Stoyanov, a Bulgarian artist, philosopher, and FinTech analyst based between Varna and Sofia.
My work bridges the fields of contemporary art, critical theory, and software infrastructure, focusing on how technical systems shape cultural production.

My current interests include:

  • Cloud automation & data visualization in artistic contexts
  • Static-site architectures (Hugo, Netlify, Cloudflare)
  • Integrating Decap CMS, GitHub Actions, and Stream APIs for hybrid film-art platforms
  • The aesthetics of infrastructure, scrap materiality, and automation

⚙️ Active Projects on GitHub

A curated film platform for independent cinema in Bulgaria.

  • Built with Hugo, Cloudflare Stream, and Decap CMS
  • Features secure tokenized video playback, geo-blocking, and editorial workflows
  • Source includes custom Hugo shortcodes, responsive layouts, and Cloudflare API automation

My digital portfolio and philosophical research node.

  • Minimalist front-end using Hugo, pure CSS grid layouts, and typographic systems
  • JSON-LD metadata for Person, ExhibitionEvent, and Movie schema
  • Automated deployment with Netlify + Cloudflare DNS

☁️ Azure Learning Resources

A set of long-form technical lessons based on Tek Experts and Microsoft Azure training materials.

  • Topics: Durable Functions, App Service internals, Docker on Linux, VNet integration, and Managed Identity
  • Each module written in plain text, optimized for live teaching and translation

🧰 Example: Hugo + Cloudflare + CMS Workflow
