About me

My name is Marios Isaakidis. I was born and spent my first years in Thessaloniki, a relaxed city in northern Greece. I am studying Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Information Technology at Cyprus University of Technology.
Currently I am working with the Serval Architecture questioning if a DHT service resolution system could be useful to it's incremental deployment, by building ServalDHT.
