About me

Software Engineer · Cyprus

Giorgos Kostakakis

I build fast, reliable software — from backend systems to the interfaces people actually touch.

Current focus

Building products from zero to one with design, code, and shipping discipline.

Based in

Cyprus

My blend of product thinking, design craft, and engineering depth lets me take ideas from whiteboard to shipped product.

About me

Cyprus

I'm a software engineer who likes taking a project from a rough idea to something real people rely on. I care about clean systems, honest interfaces, and code that's still understandable six months later.

Outside of work I'm usually reading, tinkering with side projects, or finding an excuse to travel somewhere new. I'm based in Cyprus and open to remote and on-site opportunities.
