Hello, My name is Kostas and I live in Athens, Greece. I`m 19 years old and I am a Computer Systems Engineering student at the Piraeus University of Applied Sciences. I started practicing programming as a hobby, when I was 8 years old. In the past 11 years I learnt a lot of things about computers that at this point I feel that the term Software Engineer is to strict to describe what I am able and like to do. I like considering myself a Computer Generalist. Most of the projects today require people with knowledge in multiple subjects in order for the project to get completed. And in my opinion that`s the power of being a generalist; being able to see the whole image of a project and not only that small part you have specialize on. Being a generalist you are also able to design a big project since you know and have experience with a lot of the available tools and technologies that are needed. I would say I`m something like a jack of all trades but a master of one, a software engineer with experience on many other fields like web development, databases, security, networking, cryptography and graphics just to name a few. C, C++, C#, Java, Python, PHP and Assembly are only a few of the programming languages I have worked with. My motto and my dream is to turn my hobby into a job. In my opinion, the only way to do something right is to love what you do. If your job is not one of your hobbies then you will probably fail or live a miserable life doing something you hate. And I love what I do. On my free time I like reading books, writing my own stories and playing piano and chess. I really apreciate the time that you just dedicated on reading my bio :) Thanks, Konstantinos Kamaropoulos
