Remote worker with 9+ years of experience - Last seen 9 months ago

I'm a seasoned software engineer from Greece, with a deep technical background and a focus on backend development, REST APIs, Cloud Infrastructure, and DevOps methodologies. I've earned my M.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where I specialized in Software Engineering. Throughout my career, I have advanced through various roles at Vonage, starting as a Software Engineer I and progressing to Software Engineer III. My responsibilities have included architecting and developing services and RESTful APIs, optimizing database performance, and mentoring junior developers.

I have also been instrumental in large-scale AWS migrations, the creation of CI/CD pipelines, and the enhancement of incident management through the implementation of monitoring and alerting systems using tools like Prometheus and Grafana. My technical expertise spans multiple programming languages, including NodeJS, TypeScript, Python, Java, and Go and I'm well-versed in using Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform for cloud-based deployments.

Beyond my work in industry, I have contributed to academic projects at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Center for Research & Technology Hellas, where I developed applications for data analytics and web scraping. My innovative mindset is reflected in projects like a Web Recorder for automating user acceptance tests and the development of the Hyperchat mobile application.

I am dedicated to crafting robust and scalable software solutions, leveraging my broad technical skill set to drive impactful results.
