I was born on January 17, 1976 in the beautiful coastal
city of Kavala in the northern part of Greece. I grew up in Kavala where
I attended the 14th Kindergarten School, the 11th Elementary School (which
was 50m from my house at Moschopoulidou Street), and the 3rd Junior/Senior
High School. I graduated from High School in 1993 with a grade average
of 19+something.
Then I had the brilliant idea of taking the entrance
exams for the National Technical University of Athens and was accepted
the first time around (with a bit of hard work and a whole lot of luck).
So at age 17.5 I moved to Athens (September 1993) where I started studying
at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The first couple of years were filled with a lot
of general courses which were both useful and boring but somehow I succeeded
in getting past them (most of them at least!) and happily arrived at the
next few years where I studied what I like most which is a combination
of Computer Science/Engineering.
Now I'm a senior student and hopefully by September
I will have received the coveted Diploma for which much sweat and blood
has been shed (not to mention quite a few sleepless, over-caffeinated nights
of pre-exam cramming). My diploma thesis (under the supervision of
M. Vazirgiannis
and Prof. Timos Sellis) involves the study and implementation of a data
model for spatio-temporal data (VRML) in an object- relational database
environment (Informix Universal Server).
So what's next? Assuming that you're still reading
this page (which I have no hope that you are doing but one never knows)
here it goes: I'll wrap up my diploma thesis this summer and head for the US of A
in the coming fall.
Well that's about it. Drop me a line if you
want to, I always enjoy hearing from other people. If you've listened to
my MIDIs don't hesitate to comment, I really need the feedback. Bye!
