Building the software
you actually need.

Hi, I'm Alex. I am an independent researcher and developer. I combine my unique vision and skill set with modern technology to build practical, high-impact solutions.

The Drive to Create

Alex Portrait

I'm Alexander Nikolov, and I have always been driven by an insatiable curiosity—not just to understand how things work, but to imagine how they could work better. Paired with this is my desire to build; to bring my ideas, my solutions, and my unique vision into the world.

An Array of Knowledge

Leading a project meeting

My work ranges from personal experiments to multinational projects, spanning fields such as web development, game design, and AI. Beyond code, I bring deep experience in visual and applied arts and graphic design, bridging the gap between function and aesthetics.

Going Against the Grain

Collection of past work

I don't settle for the status quo. I find patterns where others see noise and create what others overlook. I listen to what people actually need and answer those needs using the cutting-edge technologies I am passionate about.

I embraced the entrepreneurial spirit and created Evolatrium with a singular vision: to look past the norms, identify the friction in our daily lives, and engineer independent software solutions that solve real problems and improve the world of today.

The Discovery Strategy

I don't guess what the market needs. I look for the gaps. My process is built on finding the problems that big, slow-moving companies are blind to and solving them with precision.

1. Uncovering Friction

It starts with a conversation. I talk directly to industry experts and real people to identify specific pain points. I look for the frustration—the manual tasks and inefficiencies that steal time and energy.

2. The Feasibility Filter

Driven by technical curiosity, I filter these insights through a lens of reality. I look for the "Goldilocks" problems: issues that are too complex for a spreadsheet but too niche for big tech corporations to notice.

3. Iterative Co-Creation

I don't vanish and build in isolation. I work alongside the people facing the problem. We prototype, test, and refine together, ensuring the final solution isn't just "software," but a perfect fit for their workflow.

Speed, Empathy, Precision

I believe software development has been too slow and impersonal for too long. My advantage is speed and direct connection.

Direct Access

No bureaucratic hoops. I work directly with the people facing the problem. I listen to your struggles and iterate based on your feedback in real-time.

Rapid Prototyping

My approach blends deep research with immediate action. I build prototypes fast to establish what works, ensuring we solve the right problem.

On the Cutting Edge

Most software solutions and workflows offered today are rapidly becoming obsolete, but I actively look for the best available options.

Engineering Focus

I choose the right tool for the job. Whether it's complex data processing or on-the-go utility, I engineer solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and user-centric.

Cloud-Native Web Platforms

Software that runs anywhere. By leveraging modern web standards, I build powerful applications accessible from any device with a browser.

  • Universal compatibility (Mac, PC, Linux)
  • Rapid iteration via single-source deployment
  • Ideal for heavy workflows and data visualization

Cross-Platform Mobile

Native-grade experiences designed for the pocket. I build applications for iOS and Android that prioritize tactile interaction and convenience.

  • Offline-first architecture for reliability
  • Deep integration with device hardware
  • Optimized for touch and on-the-go usage

The Technical Arsenal

I handle the entire product lifecycle. From the first pixel of design to the database architecture, I utilize a modern, type-safe, and scalable stack.

Visual Engineering

Responsive, accessible, and highly interactive user interfaces built for speed.

TypeScript React Astro Next.js Tailwind

Data & Infrastructure

Scalable APIs, secure databases, and AI integration powering the logic.

Node.js Python SQL Supabase AI / LLMs

UI/UX & Design

I don't just implement designs; I create them. From wireframes to final aesthetics.

Active Research

My current primary focus is in the domain of
Intelligent Information Systems.

I am currently researching and prototyping a platform for smart information gathering and analysis—designed to help users filter signal from noise in an increasingly complex digital world.

Open for Collaboration

Have a problem that
needs solving?

I am constantly looking for the next challenge. If you face a daily inefficiency in your work or have a concept for a tool that doesn't exist yet, I want to hear about it.
