A Longer Bio

Since the early years while studying ICT systems I really liked but couldn’t separate Systems/Network Administration and the Software Development/Engineering fields. Probably because in order to be good at what you choose to follow as your primary field, you need to master that one, but, you have to know well both of them. For example, if you are a Systems Administrator you need to script your way out of the repetitive tasks, software glitches etc, but just scripting is not enough for an business/professional/Enterprise environment, or – at least – it’s not the way I wanted things to be done. Therefore, I needed more knowledge and expertise so I started to vision myself as a more hybrid computer scientist and software development at early phases came in and Software Engineering is the result after 10 years of studying and writing code at all levels and languages possible.

During these years I’ve served various positions

As a developer, I have worked mostly with the back-end of various applications (standalone and web apps) as well as the front-end
