Optimal Decisions is a software developing and consulting company focused on Management Science Technologies (Statistics, Optimization). It was founded in 1998. The president of the company, Tchavdar Dangaltchev, has a Ph.D. in Management Science from Belarusian State University. Tchavdar worked 14 years as a System Analyst and Programmer at Institute of Mathematics, Sofia, Bulgaria. He has more than 20 years experience programming in different computer languages and has taken part in a number of projects involving statistics and optimization, in some of them as a team leader. Tchavdar also has a management experience - from 1990 to 1992 he owned a computer programming and consulting company in Bulgaria. In 1996 he moved to Vancouver and worked as a Research Associate at UBC.
