Argyris Prosilis: Software Engineer(Go,PHP) Europe/Greece

Argyris Prosilis

Software Engineer (GoLang/PHP)

Hello and welcome to my personal website.
I'm a software engineer who lives in Europe/Greece and I'm looking for interesting projects to work with.
My current tech stack is GoLang, PHP (Laravel) and ReactJS. My past experience includes visual basic 6, ActionScript 3.0 and JavaSE.
I focus a lot on crafting clean and testable code based on common design patterns. I'm a big fan of the KISS idea; I like to 'keep it simple' and this is the main reason that I like coding in GoLang.
Work life balance is very important for me; in my free time I like reading books, I explore nature landscapes with my dog and I like to prepare and enjoy healthy food recipes.

My experience

I have more than 12 years of experience building software projects.
I started programming at the age of 15, crafting projects like for example an audio/video player like Winamp and 3D environments using DirectX7, mainly in Visual Basic.
At the age of 20, while in university, I led a team that created and launched a strategy PC game, which was published in the GR and CY market and became a bestseller.
Up until today, I have developed or contributed to a dozen desktop and web applications, ranging from games, backend systems for mobile applications, facebook apps for marketing purposes, web CRM and cloud ERP applications, etc.
This section is a reference for the programming languages, frameworks and tools I enjoy working with.

Gin is a lightweight framework for Golang, that is ideal for web applications and web APIs. It focuses on driving developer productivity, and it already includes some basic but well tested features such as routing, middleware, logging etc.
