SMStefan MihovSystems & AutomationDesign portfolio ↗

Selected systems · automation · product work

I turn ambiguous problems into working systems.

I work across the gap between business process, product design and implementation: mapping what needs to happen, structuring the information, connecting the tools and iterating until people can actually use it.

What this portfolio proves

Four projects, four different forms of systems thinking.

Implementation

Turning a live manual business process into a connected operating workflow at meaningful scale.

Modeling & simulation

Combining messy external data, custom scoring and real user state to support decisions.

Realtime product logic

Coordinating many devices, shared state, private state, identity and game progression.

Operational guardrails

Encoding ownership, permissions, valid transitions, notifications and history into internal software.

Selected work

The projects that best explain how I think.

Each case study focuses on the difficult part of the problem—not an exhaustive list of screens.

Working pattern

I am most useful when the brief is incomplete.

01 · DISCOVER

Understand the real process

Find the actual decisions, handoffs and failure points—not just the stated feature request.

02 · MODEL

Make the logic explicit

Define data, states, ownership and rules so the system has a coherent shape before it grows.

03 · BUILD

Connect the moving parts

Implement interfaces, APIs, automations, integrations, persistence and supporting logic.

04 · ITERATE

Use it against reality

Test real behavior, expose edge cases and improve the workflow rather than defending the first version.
