Overview

Spyros Bourtzalas

I design and ship data-rich interfaces that stay fast, legible, and trustworthy - especially for teams that rely on precise dashboards and responsive workflows.

Full-Stack Web Developer

Computer science roots, military signal corps discipline, and hands-on delivery for telecom and mapping projects mean I stay calm and methodical even under shifting requirements.

Background

About

The short version of my journey from computer science studies in Athens to shipping production-ready tools in the UK.

I studied Computer Science at the University of West Attica in Athens and cut my teeth in the communications sector before pursuing self-directed training in mobile and web development.

After relocating to the UK I completed the IT Career Switch full-stack program, blending academic rigor with practical client work while still holding a full-time role.

  • Comfortable moving between front-end polish and backend pragmatism (PHP/MySQL).
  • Enjoy delivering single-page tooling with thoughtful data states, accessible patterns, and measurable performance baselines.
