About me

Hello, I am Manolis, a driven Software Engineer, with a knack for problem-solving and a passion for collaborative teamwork, currently working at Netcompany.

I've earned my bachelor's degree in Computer Science, at the Dept. of Informatics and Telecommunications, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, where I honed my skills through diverse experiences in the sector, contributing to large-scale projects in dynamic and international environments.

Being interested in both fields of Full-Stack Web Development and Human-Computer Interaction, I'm currently specializing in Front-End Development, by focusing on implementing user-friendly interfaces. Besides coding, I'm an amateur guitar player, with a little out of tune voice, who enjoys traditional dancing, hiking and traveling.

Committed to continuous improvement, I eagerly embrace new challenges and opportunities for innovation in the ever-evolving tech landscape, striving for excellence in both my personal and professional growth.
