I am a software engineer with aspirations of being an Architect. I graduated as an Electrical Engineer from the University of Patras and received an MSc in Information Systems Engineerign from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. I have 8 years professional experience in software development in a variety of languages and environments, including C++, Visual Basic, Visual C#, SQL Server, COM+. Although I have worked as a Senior Software Engineer and Chief Designer on several projects, including the development of a document management platform for Central Securities Depository of Athens, I consider my greatest accomplishment the development of a head gesture recognition system for people with severe disabilites, as part of my thesis at UMIST.
When I am not trying to decide whether Mr Spock or Montgomerry Scott is my personal hero, I try to learn all I can about software architecture and patterns, the current great ideas like service orientation and aspects and anticipating the next great idea in software engineering.
