Mid-Level Software Developer · MSc Information Systems (Software Engineer) · Based in Xanthi, Greece 🇬🇷

I build desktop tools, web apps, and automation systems that solve real business problems, from KYC/AML compliance automation to e-commerce pricing engines and full-stack task managers. I care about clean architecture, security-first thinking, and shipping things that actually work.

I'm an active member of Chingu, a global program that puts developers from around the world into remote Agile teams to ship real products together. Through Voyage V61 (Tier 3, Team 34), I worked in a fully distributed, cross-timezone team of developers spread across different countries, running six-week Agile sprints, daily async standups, Scrum ceremonies, and code review entirely online — no shared office, no shared timezone, just a shared Jira board and a shipped product.

Before transitioning to software, I spent 13 years as a Project Manager & Security Officer in the Hellenic Army (including a 12-month NATO mission abroad), and 9 years handling 200+ technical customer issues per day. I also co-founded an online education platform that reached 40,000+ students, 1,800+ teachers, and €3,000/month revenue within one year.

This means I don't just write code, I understand operations, security, user pain points, and what it takes to ship something that works under real-world conditions — across teams, cultures, and timezones.
