Summary

I am a computer scientist with studies in the Computer Science Department of the University of Crete. I have specialized in the field of website and web application development.

I have many years of experience in website development and I am very familiar with HTML (HTML 5), CSS (CSS 3), PHP and MySQL. In recent years I have specialized in website development with open source content management systems. Especially with WordPress I have worked on and created many websites, plugins and themes. I have worked on several complex systems developed with WordPress and have excellent knowledge of the WordPress Codex. This allows me to work on and create very complex web applications.

I have a lot of experience with PHP and MySQL and have developed many websites and web applications from scratch. I have worked with PHP frameworks like CodeIgniter and Laravel, so I can also create web applications with them. I have also worked on projects with React or Vue.js and am familiar with these frameworks as well. I am also deeply involved in promoting websites on the internet and social networks and have developed applications for Facebook and Twitter.

Last month I also started developing web applications with Python – Django.
