About

Thanks for dropping by. I hope that it will not waste your time, but in case it does, at least I tried. Originally from Athens, Greece, I started my adventures in Computer Science and Technology from University of Athens where I received my Bachelor in Computer Science and Master in Software Engineering.

During my Master studies I worked as a Machine Learning researcher for the KDD lab, supervised by Dimitrios Gunopulos. During the summer of my Master studies, I spent my summer in Oslo, Norway, as an intern for Microsoft Development Center Norway, which won me and became my first working place in my post-academic life.

But, apart from being a cool guy geek, I enjoy playing and composing music, messing with hardware, playing card games, yo-yoing and collecting comic books and vinyls. In general, my mind can zone out during any form of creative act. Opinions expressed here are mine.

The visual touches that I believe that make the…
