Hi, I'm Michalis

I turn ideas into functional, user-friendly web applications, bringing concepts to life with modern technologies and innovative solutions.

About Me

My Journey

My interest in technology began with a simple curiosity about how things work. That curiosity eventually led me to study Computer Science at the University of Twente. Over the years, I’ve focused on different fields of CS but I got more practical experience in full-stack development.

A rewarding moment in my journey was receiving the Best Project Award from a university project, which led to an internship where I learned to apply the knowledge I gained at university to a real-world project.

After finishing my internship, I worked as a Teaching Assistant both at the university and externally. I enjoyed helping students understand challenging concepts and supporting them throughout their assignments. Later, I was promoted to Head Teaching Assistant for a course, where I took on additional responsibilities and contributed to the overall coordination of the teaching team.
