With a flair for the dramatic, Nikolai starred in numerous feature films and television productions in Bulgaria, Russia, and Germany, honing his craft and building a reputation as a talented thespian.

As the world began to change with the advent of the Internet and personal computing, Nikolai's interests shifted, and he discovered a new passion for technology.
