About Me

Hello, I’m a graduate student at Ionian University. I have developed basic skills in a number of programming languages, particularly Python, through my years studying and by some experimentation in my spare time. I’m currently creating apps using Kodular, because of it’s simplicity and appealness in creating mobile apps, and trying to get my masters degree as a whole. I have quite an interest in web scraping technology and I’m currently trying to integrate machine learning to make it faster and more self-reliant.

I am most skilled in: Python

Projects

Novel Reader

I have started this project as a homework for a class but I really like it and want to improve upon it in the near future. It uses web scraping technology and is created through the Kodular platform. It pulls data from three of my favourite light/web novel websites and shows their content in an orderly manner. It was constructed, because of the problems I experienced with all the light novels apps I tested.

Forest Tale

This was also an assignment for university. It is a 2D platform game created using Unity and free forest assets available on the marketstore. Although it is short and simple, it is great fun!

FBCTF

It is a CTF created with the purpose of teaching about cybersecurity to students, constructed with the help of Facebook CTF platform. It uses Vagrant as a deployable environment and includes a lot of different challenges. It also includes a server(OVA file) for some challenges.

Education

Ionian University

BSc Computer Science

2016 - 2021

The Ionian University was founded in 1984, the same year as the University of Thessaly and the University of the Aegean. The university comprises of five faculties and twelve departments. Its seat is in Corfu, with university units in Lefkada, Kefalonia and Zakynthos.

During my time in Ionian University I learnt some skills in a number of fields and also learned to work on deadlines. I additionally learnt how to co-operate doing projects by working on a team. Last but not least, I enjoyed my time there, because it expanded my worldview as I was introduced to a great variety of subjects, that I found especially fascinating.

MSc in "Digital Applications and Innovation"

2022-Present

The Postgraduate Program (MSc) in "Digital Applications and Innovation" of the Department of Informatics of the Ionian University aims to broaden the scientific skills of students in modern methodologies and technologies for the utilization of innovative applications in computer science and entrepreneurship.

I just started so I don’t have much to talk about my experience in the MSc. That said, I can say that I particularly enjoy the wide variety in subjects. It is fun that we have an assignment on mobile application using MIT App Inventor(and other platforms based on it) and we also focus on innovations. I can surely say that the previous experience in the same university, helped a lot in familiarizing with the environment in this (post)graduate program.
