I am a generalist obsessed with technology and its impacts. I am a coder and a visual artist. I’m also entrepreneur and along with a few select co-workers and friends bootstrapped our own company. One of the things I’m most proud of is rosalind a fully opensource parametric 3D printer designed and built from scratch in OpenSCAD.
Right now I am building a team responsible for the Ardu Crypto app. My day-to-day work includes design, team coordination and mentoring as well as coding in vue.js. Also, I have an overview of the redesign of THE GREEN CITY mobile and web app.
My parents retired and I have been in charge of the family business.
This year I have been working almost full time as a UX designer and systems architect for outofbounds.gr. The current projects revolve around waste management and IoT. At the same time I have been working on the UX of user-facing web applications for a large private school in Thessaloniki.
The 2nd semester of 2019 I have been working part time as a Go developer at write.as an opensource, federated blogging platform. I have been working on both front-end (HTML/JavaScript) and back end (Go) development and I completed a full ActivityPub application called pherephone which aggregates posts from various fediverse accounts in a single place.
Project Manager at the family company, demetriou engineering ltd. Led a team of 4 which was tasked to push the company towards agile, version control and modern working practices. I was also in charge of R&D, social media outreach, IT and business software.
As part of our R&D efforts I designed and built Rosalind, a completely parametric OpenSCAD CoreXY 3D printer. Rosalind is proudly part of the #RepRap project and licensed under the GPL.
In charge with visuals for our company and our client’s. Built the brand of outofbounds as well as several other companies. Hand crafted the html/css/js code for dozens of websites back when browsers still worked against us. A project I have been particularly proud of is secos.gr where I did the full branding/coding/3Dgraphics/print work. The brand is defunct but an archive still lives here
At outofbounds I worked intensively with php backend code, including a white-label customer research tool and bridging system with a Microsoft stack CRM. In those projects I also dipped my toes into MySQL. I have since created several other php projects and I have been introduced to the laravel framework.
Field engineer at the Stylida work site, part of the Athens - Thessaloniki motorway. The site included several km of Tunnels as well as bridges up to 30m high.
Many years of practice as a hobby and professionally. I have snapped more than 100K photos and have taken part in numerous exhibitions. I have also shot a short movie.
I know my way around 3D graphics suites especially blender. I always try to understand the physics of light, common in photography and 3D.
I’ve been coding since 10. I made my first website in 2001, one that went on to win the “best student website award” between schools of Athens. I have deep knowledge of web technologies, especially CSS.
Apart from that I am quite familiar with Python and Go, I know php very well and I have limited C, C++ and Qt coding abilities: I built one of the first smartphone camera apps with raw support and software Image Stabilization.
I know Inkscape, Scribus and the GIMP inside-out, and have designed more than a dozen business cards, folders, flyers and other print materials and oversaw the process from start to finish.
I have designed the administration panel of dozens of websites including a full-fledged e-commerce platform, and I have been the lead designer for nemomobile, a GNU/Linux distribution for mobile phones.
I have contributed to numerous Open Source projects, I have authored a few myself and I have been elected in the Maemo Community Council two times in a row. I’ve also attended several FOSDEM editions and gave talks in three of them.
I have completed professional Make Up artist training, professional Bartending training, two intensive Creating Writing courses and several photography seminars and workshops.
I am fluent in English, Greek is my native language and I have Delf II in French though my French is really rusty.
