Hello, I'm Max.

I am a software engineer living in Athens, Greece.

My programming language of choice is Python, I've written my share in C and C++ though, and I am also keen on learning more about Rust and Go.

I enjoy working on projects where I can undertake a diversity of responsibilites like feature development, CI build, application deployment, etc. I prefer being able to see the whole picture instead of just committing bug fixes.

I love creating tools in the form of Python libraries.

I majored with honours (M.Sc.Eng) in chemical engineering in 2019.
