Thanks for dropping by. I hope that it will not waste your time, but in case it does, at least I tried. Originally from Athens, Greece, I started my adventures in Computer Science and Technology from University of Athens where I received my Bachelor in Computer Science and Master in Software Engineering. Between those, I spent a creative year in Geneva, Switzerland where I worked at CERN as a Computer Security researcher. While attending my master’s, I was working as a Machine Learning researcher for the KDD lab, supervised by Dimitrios Gunopulos. During my last summer break of my studies, I moved to Oslo, Norway, as an intern for Microsoft Development Center Norway. That place won me and became my first working place in my post-academic life.

I want to do my research and evaluate my options before buying anything. After I evaluated a few of the “slim card wallets” Google results, I…
