My Resume
Petros Kapakos
Software Development Manager
Based in Brooklyn NY, I’ve dedicated over a decade to the art and science of software engineering. My academic roots at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, where I specialized in Human-Computer Interaction and Computer Vision, provided a solid foundation. My thesis, a deep dive into the research of multi-modal interaction in virtual reality systems, was an early testament to my passion for innovation.
From there, my journey took me from creating efficient online booking systems to adapting desktop landscapes for mobile-first users. My tenure at industry titans like Amazon and American Express allowed me to not only fine-tune my front-end skills but also to step into leadership shoes. Here, I’ve proudly mentored and led a team of brilliant full-stack engineers.
As you delve deeper, you’ll discover a professional who blends technical prowess with a vision, always aiming to bridge the gap between humans and technology.
