About me
Hello, I'm Stathis (Efstathios Iosifidis). I am a Lead Infrastructure Automation Architect and Community Engineer at GFOSS.
I hold a BSc in Applied Informatics and I am currently finishing my MSc in Software Development and Cloud. My background is in Veterinary Medicine, but my passion lies in IT infrastructure and Open Source. I am an official member of the Fedora, GNOME, Ubuntu and openSUSE communities and actively involved in organizing large-scale tech events like DevFest and FOSSCOMM.
I'm very passionate about programming, I already know Python, C, Java (all junior level), HTML, Javascript, PHP. My next goal is to learn Go.
