About

I'm a Network Engineer and full-stack developer finishing my degree in Informatics & Telecommunications Engineering at the International Hellenic University.

By day I do network installs, structured cabling, ERP/POS systems and on-site IT consulting for small businesses. By night I build. A full property management system running on a live VPS, browser games, Discord activities. I like problems that touch both the cable and the code.

The long way here

I didn't start in a server room. I started behind a counter, and it shaped how I work more than any certification did.

  1. ~2010 – 2022

    The Crêperie

    I was here from around ten years old. Over a decade of my life. It started as "helping out" and turned into real responsibilities and real work. It's where I learned to stay calm under a full rush, carry responsibility early, read and serve people all day long. The soft skills nobody teaches in a CS degree, I got them here.

  3. next

    > route to: unknown

    Still resolving. Whatever it is, it'll involve a cable and a keyboard.
