SRE | DevOps | Developer | Human
Hello! I'm Spiros, a passionate SRE and DevOps engineer with a strong background in software development and ML. I like to build solutions that people understand and find useful. I have a knack for simplifying complex problems and creating efficient, scalable systems. My journey in tech has been driven by a desire to break things in order to understand how they work.
I believe in the power of simplicity and minimalism in design, focusing on what truly matters to create solutions that users understand.

During my degree, I worked with various big data technologies including GCP services for data storage and analysis, as well as Python libraries like Pandas and Numpy. My dissertation focused on using machine learning to predict how a system would perform based on its setup. I used Python for data analysis and model building, then developed a REST API using NodeJS and Express, along with a React + Redux web app to present the results. The project was a valuable hands-on experience in full-stack development, machine learning, and working with large-scale data tools.

I studied topics like software engineering, web development, and database design. I built several projects, including a web app using JavaScript and MySQL, which gave me hands-on experience in software development. I also worked on a mobile app using React, NodeJS, Kotlin, and Java, which helped me gain full-stack and some mobile development experience.
A dynamic website for an indipendent company that provides solutions for pools and ventilation around the Greater London Area. The site is built using React with Vite and is hosted on Netlify. It uses styled components for styling and is designed to be responsive and user-friendly. The project showcases my ability to create modern, efficient web applications that meet client needs.
