About Me
Hej hej fra København! I'm Anastasios Tatarakis, a software
developer based in Copenhagen. I work on full-stack projects while
studying Computer Science at the University of London.
My background includes developing healthcare systems and workflow
tools. I've managed IT infrastructure at a dental clinic and built
an inventory system to track supplies. During my internship at
NordInsight, I worked with React, Node.js, and MongoDB.
My finance background helps me understand how technology can address
business needs. I run a blog called The Digital Shift where I break
down complex tech and finance topics into plain language.
Outside of work, I enjoy 3D printing, basketball, and 90s hip hop.
I'm currently working at Soho House while completing my studies.
I'm good at organizing teams and projects, and I can be strict about
keeping things on track. Looking back at my work history, I've led
and inspired many people. I listen well but have little patience for
constant complainers. If you're looking for help with any project in
the Nordics, where you think I would be usefull, then let's connect.
