About
Hi! I am a fullstack developer, mainly focused on the frontend part. I am also a nuclear and particle physicist, specialized in Quantum Field Theory. Brought into the web development industry in 2022, I love creating projects and seeing the finished product succeeding in its cause. Passionate about learning new technologies, perfectionist, quick thinker and creative problem solver. I try to "fail fast", because the sooner you fail, the sooner you learn. I love using React-Redux to give life to my projects.

During my initial steps in the vast world of Javascript, I focused and emphasized on the building blocks. Javascript works in a very amazing way behind the scenes. Thus, I gathered some key concepts and tried to interpret them using simple and basic examples. If you are curious, visit my Blog to find them.

Resume
From early age, I had an attraction to physics. During my studies for my Batchelor's Degree, I realized I was amazed by Quantum Mechanics and Nuclear Physics. Later on, as I was in my Master's era, I felt the need to learn programming. As a consequence, I decided to change my career and thus, I became a web developer.
Education
Master in Nuclear & Particle Physics
2021 - Present
National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, GR
As a theoritical physicist, I specialize in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory.
Bachelor in Physics
2015 - 2021
University of Crete, GR
Considered by many, as the best University for Science in Greece. It forged me into a quick thinker, learner, with a robust, get-things-done mindset.
