Creative Work

I have authored a book inspired by mine and other people's experiences on workplace exclusion.

Have you wondered what it's like to see yourself in third person, like in video games?

I participated in the Aalto Creatives pre-incubator with our project for third-person view in real life. We presented it in on their Demo Day, where people could see themselves like in a video game.

When I was trying to understand the depth of the harms of workplace exclusion, I created this website that aims to bring more clarity on this painful phenomenon and to hopefully show people who are going through a similar experience that they are not alone in it.

I collected dialect words, phrases and resources from all regions of my country, and created a map with them.

The map (in Bulgarian): https://dialekti.bg/karta

I acted as a consultant for "Spray and Pray" -- a short video project about the so-called mushroom websites, which spread propaganda and misinformation. 

My contribution was consulting about how LLMs work, using available models for classifying titles from several such websites, and visualizing attention weights for these titles.

The project is entirely done by the visual artist Veneta Androva, you can see it here: https://venetaandrova.com/spray-and-pray/ 

The video won several awards and was presented at Venice Biennale 2026 (all credits for this go to Veneta Androva).

I participated in an art project organized by Goethe-Institut Bulgaria, which connected developers, artists and practitioners for common projects on the topic of ethical AI in different areas. Our team worked on a chatbot with emotional intelligence aiming to imitate a therapeutical procedure. My part was from the linguistics and natural language processing research perspective.
