Who I Am

I was born as Pechlivanidis Konstantinos on a winter of 1987.
As a child i didn't had broken toys, i had disassembled toys ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. In school i had stable grades always in the good territory, not perfect not bad but good!

I actually was an "anomaly", a dyslexic kid that gaved away his right to oral exams to compete in equal plane with the other students. By high school no one knew and no one can tell that i was dyslexic. I didn't need therapy or doctors, because i treated it like handicap and a head start for the others, i always played in hard mode.

I started working from my 14 in intensive manual labor (carpet washing, car washing and olive processing plant), then in my 20s moved to tech support in telecommunication. Unable to seeing my self doing that for long, after getting my bachelor in information management i enlisted in army, as it is mandatory in my country, but i applied for the military school of signals and communications, graduated and discharged as second lieutenant.

The next years after the military, my life was in nightmare mode. Between the economic crisis (Greece) and personal tragedies those years left me static, it was like eating a sledgehammer on your head every time you tried to look up. Some pieces fell some broke BUT i am still here and the game is not over.

I am trying to return to web development after an extensive pause in my life. I managed to resumed my life in 2019 and worked as junior web developer in my 31! In 2019 i Worked with a custom MVC php-framework, Html, Css, MySQL (SDBA, xCRUD), javascript (Jquery,Ajax) and bootstrap you can say i was working as old full-stack ๐Ÿ˜ƒ.

I was involved with web development from my college days and i actually launched a live web application for building management as my dissertation, the free subdomain of the app obviously doesn't exist anymore, but i will never show that code again to a single sole! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ.

Now I am learning vuejs and JAMStack architecture. I use visual studio code and love git / stackexchange ๐Ÿ˜.

In a nutshell I am :

  • Introvert but extrovert with friends
  • Logician with self harming brutal honesty
  • Interested in how things work and networks
  • Hard mode player
  • With 3D modelling as a hobby

ฮ™n the 32 years i have been in this world,
i distilled three basic things about life :

  • The most difficult to achieve in life is balance
  • A fear of missing information, leads to fear of life
  • Truth is a costly commodity, often returns negative value. Beware of those who sell truth and make money!
