Forbes 30 Under 30 Greece 2024
In 2024 I was honoured to be included in Forbes 30 Under 30 Greece 2024 among the emerging talents in my field.
I had the opportunity to be part of this recognition through the e-aimodotes project, of which I am a co-founder. We started it while we were still in school and, with a lot of dedication and heart, we’ve brought it to a point where it actively helps society—by instantly notifying blood donors of urgent needs and making it easier for them to respond. Turning an idea from the classroom into a tool that saves lives is what drives me to keep building solutions that matter.
Being part of Forbes 30 Under 30 motivates me to keep pushing boundaries in full stack development and to contribute to the next generation of web experiences.
