About NKosmatos

Hi there, I’m just your average HN user from Patras, Greece.

Interested in computers, technology, science and similar topics. Curious about astronomy, maths, geography, philosophy, religion, photography, science fiction and many many more.

You can find me usually on Twitter (yes, I know it’s called X nowadays) or have a look at my own webpage and Linkedin for contact details.

I’m a software/telecoms engineer, currently employed but always open for any interesting proposals for remote only positions ;-)

    If only the could allocate 2% of these resources to a REAL technical manager to fix Microsoft Teams and Outlook, their share price would bounce back ;-)
