Profile: https://flows.cv/ilias

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a background in Mechanical Engineering I am always up for a challenge and love solving problems and building Apps. I have most of my experience with the MERN stack (MongoDB Express React and Node.js), but have also used Angular.js and MySQL and other technologies.

When I'm not coding I enjoy going on adventures with friends or travel to new places. I am also a huge fan of martial arts, soccer and rugby.
