GreeceWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced Software Engineer and Team Leader with a strong background in the computer software industry. Currently, I serve as an Engineering Manager at GoStudent, where I lead a team of seven engineers in developing and maintaining the student-side experience. My role involves setting goals, overseeing technical design, and resolving issues, all while fostering a supportive team environment that has resulted in zero employee churn over the past two years.
Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented strategies that enhance team performance and drive product innovation. Notable achievements include automating the tutor replacement process, which saved the company 500k euros annually, and spearheading the transition to push notifications, resulting in significant cost savings. My commitment to recognizing and coaching talent has empowered team members to reach their full potential, and I take pride in delivering high-quality products that improve customer satisfaction and engagement.
