About Me

I grew up in Lamia, and from a very early age I knew that technology was going to be a big part of my life. Whether it was video games or the irresistible curiosity to open things up and see how they worked, I was always drawn to computers. I didn’t just want to use them — I wanted to understand what was happening inside the box.

That curiosity came with consequences. More than once, I managed to “break” our family computer simply because I wanted to see what would happen if I clicked, removed, or changed something I probably shouldn’t have. But every mistake pushed me into trying to fix it again, teaching myself through trial, error, and a lot of patience (mostly from my family).

For a long time, my focus was on game development. I was deeply invested in learning how games were built and seriously considered following that path professionally. Creating interactive worlds felt like the perfect blend of creativity and logic — and for a while, that was the dream.

Everything changed with my first job at Marinet in Piraeus, Athens. There, I discovered a new passion: websites. Not just designing them, but maintaining them, debugging them, breaking them (on purpose this time), and fixing them again. Alongside that came the world of servers, infrastructure, and all the behind-the-scenes systems that keep everything running smoothly.

That experience reshaped my direction and helped me realize what I truly enjoyed. I decided to stay loyal to this path and eventually build something of my own — a company where I could give my work the care, attention, and love it truly deserves. That decision led to the creation of what I do today, blending creativity, technology, and problem-solving into every project I take on.

EXPERIENCE

2015 - 2022

Sysadmin & WordPress Dev

Marinet

During my time at Marinet, I was involved in development within a WordPress environment, primarily focused on the hospitality sector. I also created several e-shops; however, my main responsibility was in server management. I managed nine servers with over 2,000 clients, providing technical support and maintaining their websites.

2021 - 2023

Full-Stack WordPress Developer

Dcs Pro Lamia

During my time at DCS Pro Lamia, I handled much of what I currently do as a freelancer. I was responsible for the entire website development process, including hosting and marketing. I took on the whole project, which was one of the reasons I decided to start my own company the following year. By that point, I had the knowledge and capability to manage both backend and frontend development, as well as everything required for a website, including hosting, DNS management, email hosting, and any other necessities.

2023 - now

Freelancer

Cybervision

As a freelance product designer and CEO of Cybervision, I lead the development of innovative digital solutions tailored to meet clients' needs. My expertise spans across web design, illustration, and visual development, allowing me to create engaging user experiences. I manage projects from conception to execution, ensuring high-quality deliverables while overseeing a team of skilled professionals. My role involves strategic planning, client relationship management, and continuous adaptation to industry trends, enabling Cybervision to thrive in a competitive market.

Education

2010 - 2011

Network and Telecommunications Technician

IEK of Lamia

Since I attended a technical high school with a focus on computer science, I was required to complete one year of the Vocational Training Institute (IEK) program as a Network and Telecommunications Technician. Following this, I obtained full professional certification to practice in the field.

2011 - 2015

Department of Informatics & Telecommunications

TEI of Lamia

While attending the Vocational Training Institute (IEK), I also studied for and took the nationwide exams for a second time, which allowed me to gain admission to the Technological Educational Institute (TEI) of Lamia in the Department of Informatics & Telecommunications. I completed my studies there after five years.

2013 - 2015

Web Design & Development

IEK Intergraphics of Athens

After completing my mandatory military service here in Greece, I decided to enroll in a Vocational Training Institute (IEK) that focused exclusively on game design and programming. However, I later found my professional passion in website development, which led me to shift my focus away from gaming, turning it into a hobby instead.
