Hello, my name is Constantine Nicolaou.
I am Greek/Lebanese residing in Beirut, Lebanon.
I am a Software Developer with +15 years experience in industry and Tech Startups.
I work for Keeward Holding Group as System Architect on projects related to Big Data, User/Social Analytics, Machine Learning and scaling technical infrastructures.
Learning and practicing customer discovery has changed my professional life. I highly recommend Steve Blank’s book The Startup Owner’s Manual to anyone who is on the path of starting a new company.
My experience ranges from designing systems and infrastructure to production deployment.
My technical skills are focused around Ruby and Python ecosystems. I also have experience building iOS mobile apps and web interfaces.
Back in January 2015, I started MENA devs, an initiative with the purpose of connecting software developers, designers and computer enthusiasts in the MENA region. What started as a Slack group quickly evolved to an active community, reaching more than 250 members, lead by dedicated members.
