ABOUT ME
Software engineer and mentor. Not a physicist but I know what matters
Software engineer and mentor. Not a physicist but I know what matters

My passion for Mathematics and Computer Science is transmitted through my teaching ,where I try to help each student obtain the necessary skills and confidence to reach their full potential for exams and beyond.

My approach has always been not only to encourage each student to engage their curiosity when learning but also to enhance students computational thinking and problem solving skills.

At the same time as a Software Developer I do realize what Computer Science offers to the person and to the society. I love to code since it makes a difference in peoples’ lives, I love to code because it is a team effort, I love to code because if I can think it, I can make it a reality. I have been greatly involved in projects dealing with multiple Earth Observation systems and incorporating a plethora of algorithms for the automated processing , APIs, Big Data, Databases, Image Processing and Classification of data using Machine Learning.

Science and technology can change the world for good

Last but not least, I love travelling, playing soccer, learning martial arts, skating, socialiazing!

I was struggling with understanding the basics of Django. Thanassis was really helpful in explaining why the code behaved the way it did.

Thanassis is very qualified to teach you Python and Django, though he has advanced knowledge in several other topics of computer science, software eng. and mathematics. His English is perfect and you can understand everything he says. His calls are always professional, with good audio, and no background noise. With Thanassis, you will feel confortable in learning. He is one of the chillest professors I've met in the sense that he is friendly and I believe that he truly cares about his students. He is also punctual. Further, he is very fair with your time. He is efficient and doesn't just bluntly charge you for the gross-time—he takes into consideration time wasted on technical problems beyond your control for example. Overall he creates a good environment for you to develop a good learning-relationship with him as your mentor. You will look forward to your lessons.

Continued excellence from Thanassis and it is great having him as a mentor. I look froward to his mentorship in the day/weeks/months ahead. Thank you!

He understood how to fix the code, but Eclipse became an issue so he switched to NetBeans to resolve it.

Thanos explains difficult concepts in a way that's easy to understand. Plus he has patience while helping students develop their code.

Thanassis went above and beyond. He made sure my question was answered, and made sure I understood why we did certain things to achieve the solution!
