Founder, SD Wares

Stefan Kirov

Senior Software Engineer · Systems Builder · Technical Lead

Background

I'm a software engineer with over 15 years of building and leading systems in production. My work spans backend services, cloud infrastructure, and platform design.

I founded SD Wares to take products from idea, or from an AI-built prototype, to production and keep them running.

Recent work: Meridian, an LLM gateway for OpenAI and Anthropic; an autonomous Azure compliance agent; and My Radio.
