Software Engineer | Full-Stack Developer | IT Support
Hi, I'm Konstantinos Kargas.
I build practical software and web applications with Java and Spring Boot, with a focus on clean architecture, useful features and reliable user experiences.
ABOUT
Software built around real problems.
I am a Software Engineer with a broad computer engineering background and a strong interest in building practical, reliable software. My main focus is full-stack development with Java, Spring Boot, relational databases and server-rendered web applications.
I enjoy creating solutions that address real operational needs, from reservation and hotel management systems to public-facing websites, internal tools and workflow automation.
Beyond software development, I also have hands-on experience with IT support, networking fundamentals, hardware troubleshooting, virtualization, digital systems and technical operations.
I care about maintainable code, clear interfaces and understanding the full lifecycle of a project — from requirements and implementation to deployment, support and real-world use.
