A scientist in thinking, a developer in practice
My name is Stelios Anastasakis and I live in Heraklion, Crete. My path began with Physics and continued into the Brain & Mind Sciences — two fields that taught me to analyse complex systems, ask the right questions and reach solutions methodically.
Today I bring that analytical thinking to software development. As a Full Stack Developer I work with React, Angular, Node.js and Python, and as a Data Scientist I turn data into insight that adds real value to your business.
I believe in clear communication: explaining complex concepts simply, so you always know what's happening at every stage of the project — without confusing technical jargon.
My philosophy
- Analysis before implementation — I understand the problem in depth.
- Clean, maintainable code that stands the test of time.
- An agile flow with regular communication and transparency.
- Decisions based on data, not on guesswork.
