Welcome to my personal website !
I am a web designer and developer born and living in Athens, Greece. I love valid HTML and CSS code and web standards and I also love WordPress and Open Source thingies. Well go on ! Why don't you click the arrows and see what happens ?
If you want to talk to me, for whatever reason, you can do so by sending me an email at info@pantso.gr, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
You can also try and reach me through my social profiles but trust me the safest way is email !!!
Photoshop is by far one of my favorite tools. With it I create little pretty stuff from icons to websites and
I take good care of them pixel by pixel. Starting from photo manipulation to extremely unique and attractive
user interfaces I trust Photoshop for my work. All my ideas, after the paper, pass through Photoshop to become
what they really are.
Along with HTML, I am a CSS soldier too. Fighting for all things that are wrong with the internet nowadays, and always
keeping in mind the enemies (bugs, Internet Explorer e.t.c.) I combine CSS with HTML to create unique and fresh websites
and applications. With CSS3 becoming the next big thing, I have started getting more and more ideas from paper and photoshop
to life.
All ideas, after they come to reality using HTML and CSS need something more don't they? They need to really come to life. That is
accomplished by Javascript. My library of choice is jQuery, which I use to write plugins to serve my clients needs, and make my websites
and applications user friendly and adorable.
HTML is the first thing I got my head around when I started my trip to the magestic world of the internet. Since
then I have learned a lot of tricks, and today I consider myself a very loyal HTML soldier fighting for web standards
and pure valid code. Now that HTML5 is around the block I have spent a lot of hours studying it and using it for my
projects.
WordPress is the most awesome thing since sliced bread! It is simply amazing! The things you can do with
it are really limitless. Simply the best web publishing platform to date. I fell in love with WordPress a
long time ago, and after trying almost every CMS or blogging platform I could find, I simply cannot find
a better tool for me to work. So I stick to WordPress to create websites of all kinds. Take a look at my
portfolio and check out some WordPress websites I made!
On times when I don't code or design, I enjoy movies and sitcoms at home or a stroll to the cinema
for the latest of what's hot. Many of the ideas I have and a big part of my inspiration comes from the
movies.
I used to play football and basketball but after I finished highschool my computer became my full time job.
Nowadays I enjoy watching my favorite team with my friends every weekend and sometimes even attend a
match for a closer point of view.
Well books were not my favorite thing as a boy, but growing up I got on my hands many books that I enjoyed
reading, from fictional to history novels. Apart from that I always read books on things that had to do with my work, when I have the time,
and I still do. All this in an effort to widen my horizons and raise the level of my work to the maximum possible. As a matter of fact, I have
started writing my own books ! Check out more at A Land of Kings
and DesignBooks !
I really can't think of one time in my life that music wasn't on. Even when there is silence in the room, it is always on
in my head. I have played the guitar for more than fifteen years now, and from time to time, I still get that old fella out of the closet
and remember some old tunes. Music and lyrics are a great part of my life and my inspiration.
Friends, fireplace, a good glass of wine and a great board game. Thing that happens very often, and that I really
enjoy. I also can't remember a time in my life where I was not playing video games. After all I started my whole carrer as a video game designer.
I will always play games, and that's why I will never grow old. At least that's what is known to happen. We'll see !
