Background

About George Sofianos

The best way to describe myself is "curious with a passion for learning." As a kid, I always wanted to know how things worked. At the age of 8, I was unscrewing my toys and removing their electrical components while trying to create something new with them. Growing up, this curiosity moved from toys to computers; I discovered an exciting new world where the opportunities for learning felt infinite. I created my first static web page at the age of 13 and my first 2D video game at the age of 16, using C language. Later, I learned how to create desktop applications on macOS and Linux, contributing to the open-source community. My love for computers made me choose a technical vocational school and later a university where I studied computer science. While at university, at the age of 21, I started my first job as a web developer and I have been coding ever since. As a developer and pianist, I know that a great product can be achieved with team communication, skilled teammates and a great orchestrator. As my skills grew, I started to mentor new developers, guiding them in best practices. My management skills grew as well, reaching a point where I could lead my team and help us achieve our goals. No matter how much knowledge I acquire, there is always something new to learn and create. When a new feature or product comes to an end, I can't help wondering, what's next! Skills/Interests: JavaScript, TypeScript, GraphQL, Node.js, Express.js, Redis, AWS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, Go
