Staff engineer in payments by day: TypeScript and Python on Lambdas; Postgres, Mongo and MySQL underneath; a codebase old enough to be wagging fingers. Everything below is what happens after hours.

• Headquartered in Cyprus 🇨🇾
• Currently building (last audited: July 2026)
  • an offline-first new tab extension for task tracking
  • Kalimera, a Greek learning app
  • a wireless split keyboard - hybrid tenting
  • a CNC
  • guitars with my CNC
• 🏠 Self-hosting: Proxmox, Home Assistant, and webapps with a lot of help from Tailscale

• I have an unhealthy relationship with optimisation. My mantra is YAGNI
• Building with AI since the Copilot preview in 2021. The faster the code arrives, the harder the review needs to be.
• Framework wars are a distraction. But also, I really like SolidJS.
• Simplicity, as far as possible 👍
• Keyboards still don't make sense. Findings so far:
• Colemak-DH over Workman over Dvorak ⌨️
• Columnar stagger and 40% keyboards are cool until you try to play games on one.
• True endgame is split, low profile, no row stagger. Endgame is a lie.
• Definitely a dog person 🐕
• I'm not a fussy eater, I'm a supertaster 😎

• I'm currently learning about service workers accidentally published web-push, an RFC 8291 push library, instead
• I really want to work with PandaCSS done, it's on the CV
• I next want to work with Module Federation the industry and I quietly dropped this one together
• Remix-JHB meetup and Javascript Breakpoint emigration is one hell of an offboarding
