Hey, I'm Georgios 👋

I'm a software engineer based in Cyprus. I've been writing code professionally since 2004, working in travel, marketing tech, fintech, healthtech, and crypto. Right now I'm at Clerk, building identity infrastructure in Go.

Originally from Greece, I spent a few years in Germany before settling in Cyprus. I like making systems fast, simple, and easy to maintain — whether that's a REST API handling millions of requests, a slow PostgreSQL database, a scraping pipeline that needs to work reliably at scale, or a distributed system that needs to stay consistent.

I also build open-source scraping tools and help companies with scraping infrastructure and backend engineering.

Consulting

I help companies build and fix backend systems. Here's what I can help with:

Scraping & Data Infrastructure — need to extract data from the web? I design and build scraping systems that scale, handle anti-bot measures, and run without babysitting.

REST APIs — I build fast, clean APIs in Go. New projects or improving existing ones.

PostgreSQL — slow queries, bad schema design, scaling problems. I find the bottleneck and fix it.

Distributed Systems — building systems that need to stay consistent and reliable across multiple services.

Architecture & Performance — if your system is slow, messy, or hard to maintain, I can help you untangle it.
