Ljubo Vasilev

I am a multidisciplinary creative working at the crossroads of film, technology, and design. With a background that spans directing, video editing, programming, and music production, I bring a versatile skill set that allows me to adapt to diverse projects and deliver innovative, detail-oriented results.

Currently, I’m pursuing dual studies in Film Production at Catalyst in Berlin and Computer Science at the University of London. This unique combination reflects the way I approach my work: blending storytelling and artistic sensibility with technical precision and problem-solving. My experiences range from hands-on film production to building scripts that automate workflows, giving me a strong foundation in both the creative and technical dimensions of media and software.

Professionally, I’ve worked with established companies like Nu Boyana Films, where I helped streamline editing pipelines by writing automation scripts to detect errors and discrepancies. At Академия Роботика, I taught Python and Data Science to children, developing not only technical curricula but also engaging ways to make programming approachable. During my time at RADIOPLAY MEDIA, I applied my data analysis skills, creating Excel add-ons with VBA, working with SQL databases, and visualizing data to support radio broadcasting operations. My internships at MobiSystems and Bulgarian National Television further broadened my perspective, exposing me to marketing strategy, competitive analysis, localization, and subtitling.

Outside of formal roles, I am the founder of Neon Japan Records, an independent online music label that has worked with over 50 international artists. This venture honed my project management and creative direction skills, as I coordinated releases, branding, and promotion while nurturing long-term artist relationships.

On the technical side, I am fluent in multiple programming languages and frameworks, including Python, JavaScript, SQL, Swift, and React. I have experience in both OOP and functional programming, as well as working with tools like Git, FFMPEG, and tkinter. My Swift expertise allows me to develop iOS applications that integrate clean design with robust functionality.

Creatively, I am proficient in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and the Adobe Creative Suite, with a strong foundation in storytelling, continuity editing, and motion graphics. I also hold certifications in UI/UX Design (CalArts) and Project Management (IBM), giving me the ability to lead projects with clarity, structure, and empathy.

Whether it’s directing a short film, editing a music video, designing an intuitive user interface, or building a software solution, I bring dedication, curiosity, and a multidisciplinary approach to every project.
