George Sokianos is a Senior Software Engineer and DevOps-minded full‑stack developer with 20+ years of professional experience, currently accelerating delivery at Hostelworld in Dublin. He specializes in backend PHP (Symfony, Grav), containerized deployments, CI/CD (Jenkins, Drone) and has driven tangible improvements—reducing developer onboarding from days to minutes and cutting CI deployment times from 20 minutes to under a minute. Comfortable across LAMP stacks, VueJS front-ends, and multiple CMSs, he also operates his own Debian/Ubuntu servers and authors custom Docker images while preferring vetted community images for security. A pragmatic Scrum Master and engineer, he blends hands-on coding with process automation and developer enablement to reduce technical debt and transfer ownership to squads. Outside work he beta-tests software and exotic hardware, builds electronics and writes C desktop apps—evidence of a tinkerer’s mindset that fuels practical, production-grade experimentation.
