Born in Greece, lived in Lithuania for a bit, somehow ended up in England. I've worked on robots, AI research, mobile apps, and web development. Here's the mess:
2013 - 2019
Started with World Robot Olympiad (WRO) as a kid. Led teams, traveled to places like Thailand and India, made life-long friends. Turned out I really enjoyed coding.
2017 - 2021
Studied Computer Science, with my final thesis on Complex Event Processing with Apache Flink. Got involved with Erasmus Student Network and Google Developer Student Club. Oh, and COVID happened. Fun times.
2021
Spent a semester in Vilnius wrapping up my degree. First time living alone, first real winter (arrived to -24°C from Greek sunshine), first time worrying if my jokes work in English (they do). Made me want to travel more.
2021 - 2023
Started as a Junior iOS Mobile Developer, ended up leading projects and business discussions. Full cycle from planning to deployment, building features people used daily. Solid professional experience, but something was missing. Time to explore more.
2023 - 2024
From Computational Medicine to Game Theory, final thesis was on building LLMs for Reactive Synthesis. Super intense, but oof, I earned a Distinction. Formal dinners, Harry Potter vibes, Rugby Fives Half Blue award, what a year! Left with more questions than answers, damn.
2024 - Now
Decided industry over academia and joined TNG as a Full Stack Web Developer. Working with international clients, trying to learn ein bisschen German along the way, enjoying cool company trips. Diving into yet another side of tech - turns out the variety gives you perspective.
