About
Web Developer and Product Builder based in Limassol, Cyprus, focused on turning ideas into scalable, real-world software solutions.
Over the past few years, I've built and maintained web applications, improved user experiences, and delivered solutions that help teams operate more efficiently. I enjoy working across both product and development - from planning features and designing workflows to implementing, testing, and launching them.
Currently, I'm the Founder & Product Lead of Droova, a workflow and CRM platform that helps teams manage projects, clients, automation, and performance analytics within one unified workspace. I work on it daily to make it the best version it can be. My background in Computer Science, combined with hands-on industry experience, allows me to approach problems with both technical depth and product thinking.
