I started building products while studying Computer Science at the University of Crete, leading a small team that shipped apps and platforms for clients. One of them, Coachera, reached a Y Combinator interview; another won second place in the National Bank of Greece innovation contest.
I wanted to deepen my knowledge on product development, so I joined a startup called Connect Chains, based in London, and spent two and a half years building their B2B marketplace. This is where I learned what real production looks like.
In 2023 I decided to start working with clients independently. I wanted experience across more industries, and a hand in shaping the whole product, not only building it. Today I work with product teams who want to move faster, embedding alongside them to speed up delivery, and with businesses that need a product built from the first decision to launch. I care about the decisions that come before the code: what gets built, in what order, and what gets left out.
Alexandros joined PBLWorks on a three-month contract as a senior fullstack engineer, and worked as a full member of our team. He onboarded remarkably fast and was at full capacity within days. His output was fast and consistently high quality. He had good judgment about when to push back and when to commit to a call he disagreed with. I would hire him again without hesitation.

We worked with Alex as an external software developer on multiple complex software projects. I particularly appreciated his structured and methodical approach, as he always took the time to understand each situation, evaluate the available options, and identify the best solution for building a reliable and high-quality product. He was also dependable, collaborative, and easy to communicate with throughout our work together. I would confidently recommend Alex to anyone looking for a technically skilled, thoughtful, and reliable software engineer with strong problem-solving abilities and a team-oriented mindset.
