Hi there 👋

Summary

I'm Alexandros Papageorgiou Koufidis, a DevOps-focused software developer from Greece, currently living in Amsterdam. Besides creating good software, I believe in diversity of thoughts, bodies and minds, as an inclusive way to address the inequalities we face today and may face tomorrow.

Me with orange hair in Barcelona

Quick bio

At 18, I started working various entry-level jobs. At 21, and while interning as a SysAdmin for my university I developed an app for hobby games sellers to automatically price their products based on various algorithms and strategies. Next year I dropped out of university and moved to Poland for romance, while working remotely at a VR game development startup. After going back in Greece, I started a hobby games web store with a friend, then moved to Switzerland when I started working for CERN. On the same year, 2019 I also cofounded Thalatta, a software development startup. After CERN, I pivoted to DevOps and worked at Zivver, a secure communications company in Amsterdam, then VanMoof, a high-tech ebike scaleup. I'm currently working as an SRE at Miro, a visual collaboration editor.

Quick facts & trivia

  • I was the youngest presenter at CERN Spring Campus
  • In the same event, I painted my hair green for my introductory DevOps presentation "Green is the warmest color"
  • Between 21 and 25 I lived in 5 houses across 4 countries (and also spent some months as a digital nomad)
  • I was a Magic:the Gathering judge and community leader, and served as Country Coordinator for Greece
  • This question about whether we have written examples of H.P. Lovecraft's racism, led me to turn vegan
  • I have multiple accents of English and I switch between them based on context

I believe in salary transparency. You can see my tech compensation data here.

Thanks for being here and reading through this, enjoy your day!
