About Me

Anastasios Tatarakis

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!
