About
Web Developer & UI/UX Designer.
Since beginning my journey in Computer Science, I have successfully finished my bachelor's and soon my MSc in Human-Computer Interaction. I had the chance to work for a year in a competitive environment, where I improved my skills. I'm naturally curious and always eager to learn more.

My first real interaction with programming was in primary school where I started coding in the AgentSheets programming language. From the age of 13, I started writing programs in Scratch that made characters move, speak, play music and interact with other characters on the screen. Later, in high school I attended advanced courses of computer science where I received a lot of encouragement from my professors to pursue computer science as a career.
Therefore, it was no surprise that I decided to take this passion for computer science more seriously by enrolling at the University of Cyprus and getting my BSc in Computer Science. In the process of getting my degree I was exposed to different aspects of computer science, for example databases, object-oriented programming, parallelism, cyber security and artificial intelligence. But the aspect that fascinated me was the whole process of developing a web page from what the users want up until the actual implementation of a website using various tools like HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
