George David Apostolidis

Research Associate | Software Engineer

I am interested in Software Development and Software Engineer Research.

ABOUT ME

My goal is to make an impact.

Web Design - Maintaining Websites

In my first years on the web, I have been working with Wordpress, making websites for university groups, e-shops, and maintaining existing websites. Some of my work includes Finance Club UoM, Anagnostoy Constructions, and Ftiaxno.com.

Open Source Contributions

As a founding member of Open Source UoM, I was in charge of the Development Team, consisting of 9 other developers. Our team built a Web Application for Students, in which all of university's services are available in an easy and modern way called myUoM. You can find the repository here.

Research

After launching myUoM, I wanted to further my experience, so I delved into research. I completed my thesis, titled "Evaluation of Python Code Quality Using Multiple Source Code Analyzers," and worked as a research associate on the RAISE Science Horizon project. Since November 2023, I have been a research associate at the Center for Research and Technology Hellas, Information Technologies Institute.

Volunteering

I actively contributed to various organizations throughout my academic career. I co-founded Open Source UoM, led the development of the university's student application (myUoM), and volunteered for events like Akademy and FOSSCOMM. Additionally, I held leadership positions within the UoM IEEE Student Branch and served as a Google Developers Student Club member. These experiences demonstrate my passion for technology, open-source development, and community engagement.
