Intership

Interactive Software Technologies & Engineering Laboratory (iSTLab)

I became member of the main team, where among other duties I was also preparing teaching material for the lecture “User Experience” (which later also used as a material for my thesis). I’ve also had the chance to study more about Google’s Material Design, where I’ve used as my main design language for my thesis.

For my thesis project, I developed an application aiming on organising and sharing web content.

The application consisted of the main web interface and a browser extension. The browser extension itself, allowed users to collect, save and tag web resources and later organise them through the web application. Also, through the web interface users could share their collections but also edit and comment on them directly.

Student

Informatics Engineering, Technological Institute of Crete

Originally a multimedia-oriented department, which later leaned toward the field of informatics.

A rather interesting and challenging programme mixing network, computer and software engineering.


Summary

I had the chance to work on a variety of projects mixing technology stacks and languages from different fields, that helped me understand core concepts of software engineering.

Projects I developed through these years:

  • Desktop application for shop inventory management C#
  • 3D Ball Game Unity C++
  • A student’s evaluation system C (working a lot with data structures and algorithms)
  • Text editor and calculator Java
  • Hotel website with booking system (that I later refined and sold) PHP Apache SQL HTML CSS JavaScript (first time working with JS)
