Summary
Stavros Papadakis is a seasoned web applications developer and secondary education teacher in Greece with over a decade of professional experience building backend systems, APIs and databases—primarily in Yii and Laravel. He pairs long-standing hands-on engineering (including leading backend and web services for government and EU projects) with classroom and professional training experience, bringing clear communication to complex technical work. Comfortable in both public-sector interoperability projects and private-sector product development, he has implemented REST APIs, ETL workflows and performance improvements for large-scale applications. A persistent advocate of open-source tooling, Stavros maintains historical work in institutional repositories and often bridges development with IT operations—evident from his Ubuntu LTSP lab setups and administrative support roles. His profile reflects rare depth in a single-stack (PHP/Yii) combined with practical education credentials (MEd) that make him effective at mentoring and translating requirements into maintainable systems.
