About
me
I was born in Athens in 1991 - (pause for a bit to do the math) -, where I attended the National Technical University of Athens as an Electrical & Computer engineer. I always wanted to become a pilot, but some things don't work out the way you want them to.
I officially started working as a software engineer after my thesis got featured on a core EU Union project. For the past 8 years, I have been working as a Web Engineer with an emphasis on Front-end & Performance. Although I won't brand myself as a fullstack developer, I have worked multiple years with back-end technologies like Rails, Django, Memcached, Docker, Redis and Elasticsearch and I keep creating services with these technologies for my freelancing projects. I'm also proficient in most web-related & infrastructure AWS Services such as S3, Cloudfront, ECS, ECR, Cloudformation, Lambda, API Gateway, etc. Lately, I have been working primarily as a Front-end developer and have successfully architected & deployed large scale applications, turning any mistakes or successes into articles. Most recently, I've been focusing on consulting around all things React, Redux, GraphQL & Web Performance.
I love F1, cycling, hiking, DnD & World of Warcraft and sometimes it's all I can talk about.
