## Bio

I'm Theodore, a software engineer, speaker and educator in Athens, Greece.

By day I'm a lead software engineer at [Workable](https://www.workable.com/). Outside work I'm building [Proxima Analytics](https://proxima.so/), an open source, privacy-first analytics platform.

The parts of the web I like most are the ones that run into something else: creative coding, IoT, interaction design, and how people actually use computers.

I've worked on frontends and backends, on mobile and on desktop. Lately I've been mixing web code with art and electronics, and some of the generative pieces from that live in the [lab](https://vorillaz.com/lab).
