Little things about me:
“Hi there, my name is Athanasios Triantafyllou! I’m excited to give you a glimpse into my journey, both professionally and personally.
My Programming Journey
Back in high school, I jumped into coding using Python as my go-to language. While I’m still working towards becoming a pro, Python has been my trusty sidekick, helping me navigate through tricky problems and learn the ropes.
Fast forward to university, where the coding world got even more interesting with Java and C joining the mix. My GitHub profile acts like a digital portfolio, showcasing the good and bad of the projects I took on during my school days. It’s not just a place to store code; it’s a record of my ongoing journey in exploring new challenges and growing as a coder.
My Web Development Journey
In the web development world, I’ve learned PHP and HTML by actually doing stuff. Taking a leap into business, I co-founded “Gometa” – a web development gig that did well with lots of different clients. You can see our work on our website.
Still to this day I have been building websites for fun. Either using softwares like Shopify to build e-commerce brand websites or WordPress to build websites like this and many more on my portfolio.
Working with Useappility IKE on a project within WordPress was a big moment. It boosted my skills and showed me the importance of teamwork in real situations.
My Business Journey
Taking a dive into entrepreneurship, I co-founded Gometa — something I just talked about so lets not waste any more time of yours.
My collaboration with Useappility IKE did not stop. We worked together within the frameworks of the research project “ADAPT” which is an innovative adaptive tourist guide application based on the location, time and user preferences.
Last but not least I am still an affiliate working to promote and secure sales for their developed app called AppIt
In the e-commerce world, I jumped into learning by doing—facing both good times and tough spots. These lessons are like stitches in my journey, covering everything from figuring out the market to getting better at online success. The story on my website isn’t just about pictures; it’s about growing, bouncing back from challenges, and always picking up new things in the ever-changing business world.
Extra Work Experience
Other than Web development and Businesses that i just talked about my professional journey also includes a stint as a barista and in-service roles for a total of one and a half years. At Plenty, a brunch cafe, I honed skills like quick thinking, decision-making, inventory and team management. It was a rewarding chapter that laid the foundation for my multifaceted approach to projects.
In essence, my diverse experiences have sculpted me into a dynamic professional. My story unfolds not just in lines of code but in every decision, challenge, and endeavor. I invite you to explore my CV and portfolio, where each project encapsulates my dedication, creativity, and adaptability.
My Sports Journey
Sports have been a big part of my life, especially pole vaulting. I dedicated nearly eight years to it, diving into the discipline and honing my skills. While I tried other sports like football, basketball, tennis, and many more, nothing really kept my attention. That’s why pole vaulting was my main focus for nearly a decade.
Even though my pole vaulting journey has come to an end for various of reasons I love extreme sports like surfing, snowboarding, and scuba diving, adding an exciting twist to my holidays and day to day life.
