Misc
I
was born in Cyprus, a
small island located in the
eastern Mediterranean. In 2007 I received my B.Sc. in Computer Science
from the University of Cyprus. I
initially joined UCSD as a Master's student, after receiving a
scholarship for graduate studies in the US from
Fulbright.I spent a big part of my undergraduate studies working part-time and during the summers on project DITIS. Specifically, I helped with the design and development for both desktop systems and mobile devices.
