About Me
I’m a Computer Science student based in Thessaloniki. I spend most of my time dabbling in different technologies and programming languages. I primarily enjoy writing code in TypeScript, Rust and Go.
Work
Some notable projects I’ve worked on include:
-
a TypeScript to C Transpiler: An experimental tool that translate C-like TypeScript code into C. [Article]
-
a Superoptimization Toolchain: A program and library for experimenting with optimization algorithms. [Article]
Interests
I enjoy learning about Linguistics, primarily Historical Linguistics. Naturally, I am also attracted to learning languages. I’ve been on my journey into learning Dutch for the past year, and I have previously dabbled in German and Swedish.
Background
I’ve been interested in computers for as long as I can remember. My father worked with electronics, so naturally I was exposed to various technologies and devices. I eventually got my first computer, which I managed to break in various different ways within the first few weeks.
I learned to program at 11 or 12. My first programming language was Java. Over the next few years I worked on dozens of projects and socialized and collaborated with other programmers, which greatly helped me in my journey.
