About Me
My name is Petros (Peter) Trakadas, and I'm a Golang Software Engineer from Greece, living in Athens and currently working at Cegeka.
I am a hardworking and ambitious individual with a great passion for technology and especially programming. I enjoy being challenged and engaged with projects that require me to work outside my comfort and knowledge set, as continuing to learn new technologies is crucial to me. My hobbies include software engineering and studying foreign languages, all of which I pursue intermittently and with various levels of dedication. My technical skills have been developed during my studies and enhanced in 2020 in the context of a 500 hours intensive training in Software Development organized by PeopleCert and HEPIS, which is developed under the academic supervision of the Athens University of Economics and Business.
