From the first line of code to stable operation.
I am Evangelos, Head of Technology & Architecture and a software engineer since 2010. Here I write about production systems: PHP/Laravel, Node and React/Vue, running on AWS with CI/CD and zero-downtime deploys.
# Zero-Downtime auf AWS Fargate resource "aws_ecs_service" app { desired_count = 3 launch_type = "FARGATE" deployment_configuration { minimum_healthy = 100 maximum_percent = 200 } # health-checked rollout health_check_grace = 30 }
Precision in every layer.
Systems that stay stable under load and keep growing, with an eye on cost and EU/GDPR.
AWS Architecture
Infrastructure as Code, ECS Fargate, CI/CD, observability and zero-downtime deploys.
02Full-Stack

03AI in Production
RAG systems and LLM integration on AWS, with real cost control instead of PoC toys.
04Technical Leadership
Architecture of the system landscape, build-vs-buy, and leading teams and service providers.
