Yani is a very effective leader and is also very switched on from a technical perspective, producing practical and elegant solutions for the software he designed. I was also impressed with Yanis ability to manage a team distributed across the globe, with members in Europe, America, Canada, Australia and Pakistan (and probably other locations as well). He was able to manage the complexities of project design, implementation and delivery alongside the challenges of remote teams in a very effective manner. It was very enjoyable working with Yani.
About Me
Hello there! My name is Yani Iliev. I am entrepreneur, and I'm very passionate and dedicated to my work and my investments.
AWS, Google Compute Cloud, Microsoft Azure, DigitalOcean – just some of the Global leaders I'm currently working alongside. Below is a brief breakdown of how I got here...
Where I’ve been
After earning my degree, I honed my skills in various Lead Software Development roles – across Canada, Thailand, Texas and NYC, before returning to the Bay Area. Prior to Bootstrapping one of WordPress’ most trusted and utilized plugins for moving websites, All-in-One WP Migration, from a 0 to 10 FTE service (currently used by over 60m customers worldwide), I founded and exited a number of successful businesses.
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurial by nature, I love helping people develop ideas into sophisticated products and stable companies. While working at these companies, I identified the same issue when starting a new project – transferring newly built websites from my computer to the internet. So, I solved this at ServMask via All-in-One WP Migration. While searching for the optimum people to develop the venture, I sported many hats, including Software Engineer, Customer Support, HR, and Accountant, in order to test my hypothesis and validate the market. Nowadays, my role is defined as Business Development, ensuring the company executes my defined strategy.
Who I work with
Currently working directly with clients and stakeholders to create website development, integrating web design technologies and building out applications in a collaborative programming environment. We supply partners with reliable and user-friendly Backup and Migration software, thus providing value and ease-of-use services to their customers.
Who we serve
ServMask’s trusted All-in-One WP Migration technology is utilized by enterprise customers, Governmental organizations and universities alike. Just some include Boeing, NASA, VW, Harvard University, Stanford University, Lego, P&G, State of California, State of Hawaii, IBM.
