About me

I'm a Greek-American born and raised in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. When I'm not coding you'll probably find me at a futsal or soccer game, hanging out with my family, or playing classical kemençe, ney or lavta.

This is my work account, for my personal account please see Kostajh.

My work

I started working with the Wikimedia Foundation in June 2018. I'm a software engineer on the Growth team, where we are currently working on interventions to help retain contributors.
