Installation, on site
Winter lighting at shopping streets, shopping centres and public locations — install, check, take down. Night work in a fixed window, so the street is back in use before opening.

Physical work.
Digital work.
Whatever the job needs.
Good luck fitting this on a business card. On site: winter lighting, production, build work, the awkward job on a night shift. At a desk: software, sites, automation.
I am handy with most things as long as I can understand the work — so this page is an honest inventory rather than a service list. Some of it is paid work, some of it is mine, some of it is a detour that got out of hand.
Those are strung and lit one at a time. On a real street it takes a night, a ladder and a van; here it takes three seconds and no permit.
01
What I do
Two practices under one name. The thread between them: understand how a thing actually works, then make it work.
Production & build
Not only fitting. Preparing, assembling and adapting the material before it goes up, and solving what only appears on site: a bracket that does not fit the facade, a run of lights that has to cross a doorway.
physicalCrew work, subcontracted
Working for a main contractor, on their schedule and their site rules, alongside other crews. Where I am told, at the hour I am told, with the right tools.
physicalSoftware
Building and shipping my own tools — a scheduling app for shift-based businesses, a stock-counting app for hospitality, an invoicing tool below. Designed, built and maintained at a desk, by the same person who does the site work.
digitalAutomation, including AI
Where this is heading. Practical automation for small businesses with no technical team — the work that quietly eats a day a week, made to run on its own. Taken on slowly, one job at a time.

Something else entirely
Nothing to do with invoices, and only loosely to do with lighting.

The invoicing tool
A finished shift should become an invoice line, not something retyped from a calendar at the end of the month. The tool reads a work schedule, lets the operator record the days worked, and produces the invoice as a PDF. It can store those PDFs in the operator's own Google Drive and send them from the operator's own Gmail account.
It is in development. There are no customers and nothing to sign up for. It runs on a single account — mine — with sign-ups switched off, and it exists because the work described above needed it. If that ever changes, it will say so here.
The tool asks for access to Google Drive, Google Calendar and Gmail, and uses that access only to store invoice documents, read work schedules and send invoices. What it covers, and what it does not, is set out in the privacy policy.

Who
Yordan Mihaylov, sole trader (eenmanszaak) in Amstelveen. No team, and no premises besides the registered address: the same person quotes the work, does the work and sends the invoice.
On site, mostly night work for a main contractor, invoiced per day per project, with VAT reverse-charged to the contractor (btw verlegd, article 12(1) of the Dutch VAT Act). At a desk, software and automation. Quotes are in writing and per project; if the work changes on site, the change is agreed before it is carried out rather than presented afterwards.

Contact
For a quote, a site check, or a question about an invoice. Email is fastest; the phone is answered by the same person who does the work.
