p r o f i l e
I am a professionally qualified Front-End Web Developer, with experience in Web and Graphic design. Web Development is one of my great passions and even though my studies were in Graphic Design, I excelled in Development in my working life.
I moved in London from Greece in April of 2011 seeking a larger highly competitive market, thus more challenging and exciting. I have to admit at first it was not easy, but as I am very determined and I never give up. I persevered. I'm very happy I made this decision and now London kinda feels like home.
During my Web career I've worked on different types of websites (company websites, e-commerse, e-magazines, personal webpages, etc.) I constantly look for ways to stay informed of the latest trends and technological advances, to expand my knowledge, and improve my skills. Being a Web Developer is not just a job for me, is what I love doing even in my free time.

Viral (band) Definitely the best band in the world. And I'm very objective saying that. It is not because its my band. That's an absurd accusation! Google What life would be without Google? The BKH A very nice and fun place to work in with great employers and colleagues. Bitamin Best employer and the very beginning of my Web career. JQuery Absolutely my favourite Javascript library. So easy to use. Stackoverflow I'd be lost without it. Helped me in my worst development dead ends Google Chrome Best browser in the world. Just delete the rest of them. No one needs them. Ok at least delete IE. Please..? IE6? Thank you.. Apple For my beloved little iPhone that is my companion in the difficult times I can't carry a laptop. And those iMacs..! Adobe For all those helpful programs. Amazon, Ebay & Gumtree Well.. I do love bargains. Google Maps & TFL Thanks for the great guidance and prevention of trouble (being lost somewhere in the unknown, late at work, meetings, etc).
