Vasilis Kechagias
Software engineer. Thessaloniki, Greece.
I'm a Web Developer with a focus on backend and full-stack work. I enjoy building things that are useful to people, and the process of learning new technologies to do so.
I've worked as a full-stack developer / system administrator / CI/CD multitool for years, learning as I go. I like to understand how things work, and to be able to fix them when they don't. I've built and maintained e-commerce platforms, custom plugins, and integrations with ERP systems.
In my own time, I've developed systems to solve my own made-up problems (my main project is a in-car infotainment system), reverse engineered Farmville and generally pushing myself to be better.
I also grow tomatos.
Looking for backend or full-stack work now. Email is below.
