About

Combining my diploma in Byzantine music with code: I'm building a classifier that recognises, from audio, which musical mode (echos) a hymn is in (Python, librosa, React). Alongside that, I'm exploring EEG signal processing and Brain-Computer Interfaces.

Professional summary

Frontend engineer with 7+ years building web applications, the last 3 focused on React and TypeScript in production, most recently on large public-sector platforms in Greece and Lithuania. I specialise in complex forms, shared component libraries and accessible (WCAG 2.1) interfaces built from Figma designs. With a full-stack background in PHP/Laravel, I can take features end-to-end and work closely with backend teams on API design. Open to remote roles and relocation.
