Two decades in AI.
Still more questions than answers — the machines keep raising new ones.
I'm Dimitar — software architect, AI engineer, and Head of Product at moresophy in Munich. I build systems that help machines understand language and help people find what they're looking for. This site is where I think out loud about all of it: what works, what doesn't, and what it might mean for the rest of us. For old friends, curious strangers, and everyone in between.
I've been obsessed with one question for most of my career: how do you find something when you don't quite know what you're looking for?
That question took me to the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken — and then into two decades of search engines, data platforms, and — more recently — AI systems that try to understand what people actually mean, not just what they type. Twenty years of working on it. I always find answers — just not sure they're the right ones.
At moresophy in Munich, I develop AI systems for organisations that can't afford to get it wrong. The work is serious, the responsibility real.
But somewhere along the way I noticed something: the gap between what's technically possible and what actually helps people in their daily lives keeps getting wider. Not because the technology isn't good enough — but because we developers spend more time in the clouds than on the ground.
This site is my attempt to think about that out loud. Not by dumbing things down — I don't believe in that — but by writing honestly about what I'm learning, what I'm developing, and what I think it all means. For old colleagues I've lost track of, friends who keep asking me to explain what I actually do, and anyone else who suspects that AI is more interesting — and less scary — than the headlines suggest.
If something here resonates, say hello. I mean it.
