17 | 17 | <h2>Hello all!</h2> |
18 | 18 | <p> |
19 | | - My name is Thanos Kolovos, I currently live in Athens, Greece, and work at |
20 | | - <a href="https://www.transifex.com" target="_blank">Transifex</a> as a |
21 | | - Director of Engineering. |
22 | | - </p> |
23 | | - <p> |
24 | | - From 2005 I have worked with a lot of digital agencies and either small or |
25 | | - big companies in Greece as a Frontend or Backend Engineer, so I'm positive |
26 | | - I have my share of security holes out there. |
27 | | - </p> |
28 | | - <p> |
29 | | - Over the years I have become keen on performance optimization, UX and |
30 | | - consistency. Stating the obvious, when I joined a product company, I |
31 | | - became interested in how a product works and evolves and how great teams |
32 | | - work. |
33 | | - </p> |
34 | | - <p> |
35 | | - It was when I became a Scrum Master that I figured out I am fascinated |
36 | | - about people, what makes them tick, what triggers them. |
37 | | - </p> |
38 | | - <p> |
39 | | - After that, it has become my mission to better understand people, help |
40 | | - them grow in any way I can, and of course, evolve as an individual during |
41 | | - the process. |
| 19 | + I’m <strong>Thanos Kolovos</strong>, based in Athens, Greece, and |
| 20 | + currently the <strong>Associate Director of Engineering at GWI</strong>. |
| 21 | + Before that, I worked at Causaly and Transifex, leading and growing teams |
| 22 | + while shaping the engineering function. Earlier in my career, I worked |
| 23 | + with digital agencies and companies across Greece as both a Frontend and |
| 24 | + Backend Engineer, so yes, I’ve probably left a few security holes behind. |

46 | | - Codegaze, is something that was inspired by |

48 | | - >Shoegazing</a |
49 | | - > |
50 | | - and Rants, is something that I find descriptive of my writings and funny |
51 | | - at the same time. |
52 | | - </p> |
53 | | - <p> |
54 | | - I find it liberating to write about things. I started writing about |
55 | | - coding, but right now I have expanded on other subjects, like people, |
56 | | - management, or leadership. |
| 28 | + What drives me is not just code but how teams and products evolve. Over |
| 29 | + the years, I’ve become fascinated by the human side of tech. What makes |
| 30 | + people tick, how great teams thrive, and how to help individuals grow |
| 31 | + while growing myself and creating amazing products. |

60 | | - doesn't represent opinions of any company, project, or person, that I |
61 | | - interact with. |
| 35 | + <strong>This is my writing space.</strong> I started with |
| 36 | + <strong>coding topics</strong>, but now I explore |
| 37 | + <strong>leadership, management</strong>, and the |
| 38 | + <strong>human side of building products</strong>. |
