Achievements
- Selected out of 22 start-ups to participate in university Shark Tank to pitch to investors. Reached final of competition as well as pitching in front of 300 individuals.
- When ordering food from my local greek restaurant, I saw that they were struggling with orders all of a sudden. They could not deal with the numbers. I proposed to the owner that I could build him a website to fix his ordering problem. The next day I showed up with website beta built in Firebase, AngularJS and Bootstrap. He loved it and we are now working on improving functionality for customer analytics.
- Winner of UKGov hackathon. Built an iOS app and web app that would track food that was shipped from producers to food suppliers. The food supplier would have to scan a QRCode and then state the condition of the package. This meant each supplier along the chain was reviewing each other and so the food producer would be able to first track his/her produce but also see if his goods are treated correctly.
