ABOUT ME

I am a Full Stack Web Developer living in Heraklion, Greece. My background is rooted in music. I studied it extensively and have been working professionally as a bouzouki and piano player for several years. Music composition remains a big part of my life and continues to influence how I approach creativity and structure in my work.

I studied Computer Science and Multimedia at the University of Heraklion, gaining a strong foundation in both technical and visual aspects of digital creation. My programming journey began three years ago with Python and quickly grew into full-stack web development. Today, I work with modern technologies like React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, building applications that are fast, scalable, and user-friendly.

I enjoy designing and developing clean, responsive interfaces while ensuring reliable and maintainable architecture behind the scenes. With a strong eye for detail and a passion for usability, I focus on delivering applications that balance performance with design clarity.
