ABOUT GEORGE TSEKOURAS
As a software engineer, I have a passion for using technology to solve complex problems and create engaging experiences for users. My journey began in Athens, where I honed my competitive spirit as a championship rower, placing fourth in Greece\'s young championship. Later, I pursued my interest in computer engineering, studying at the University of Patras for five years, culminating in a thesis on machine learning in game design.After graduation, I joined Abzorba as a game developer, then moved to Velti, where I quickly progressed from a full-stack engineer to a backend team leader. At Swisscom, I continued to refine my skills as a backend engineer while providing valuable leadership advice. Today, I\'m proud to serve as Engineering Lead at Plum, where I\'ve bonded a team of four new colleagues and delivered six features in just six months, boosting the company\'s revenue.My philosophy is that while you can go faster alone, you can go further with a great team. I thrive in collaborative environments where everyone\'s unique skills and perspectives are valued, and I\'m always seeking new challenges to push myself and my team to the next level.
