About Me
Hello! I'm Anastasios Tatarakis, a creative and driven Software
Developer with a passion for technology and a knack for
problem-solving. Currently based in Copenhagen, I'm diving into
full-stack development and embracing design challenges that demand
both creativity and precision.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring investment
opportunities in ETFs and stocks—a passion that blossomed during my
specialization at the University of Geneva. I love building apps or
crafting the next IoT device for my home, always eager to innovate
and learn.
I'm an avid collector of vinyl records and enjoy all kinds of music,
with hip hop and jazz being my favorites. In my free time, I love
working out, playing basketball, and traveling to new places. My
previous career in the hospitality industry cultivated a deep
appreciation for specialty coffee and whiskey.
As I expand my network in the Nordics, pursue my degree at the
University of London, and seek out exciting new projects, I'm ready
to bring fresh ideas and collaborative energy to the teams I join.
Let’s connect and create something extraordinary together!
