Full-stack web engineer with a strong focus on front-end technologies and co-founder of a web-based startup, I’ve been professionally immersed in the web ecosystem since 2011.
My expertise lies in building and testing responsive user interfaces while solving algorithmic challenges with a focus on efficiency and performance. With a passion for design, I’m deeply involved in improving user experiences across the projects I work on.
I am always eager to learn and apply software design patterns to write clean, idiomatic, and maintainable code. I have a particular passion for JavaScript, open web standards, and functional programming.
I hold a Polytechnic Diploma in Computer & Communications Engineering from the University of Thessaly, earned in 2010.
