A personal history / 2009 to today

It started
with curiosity.

Not a straight line, and not an origin myth. Eight chapters in how making websites became the work I do, and the way I choose to do it.

Chapter 01

Curiosity, not a career plan

I started by building L2J and Lineage community websites and templates. Raw HTML, Notepad and Photoshop became my way of understanding how an online world was put together.

Chapter 02

Learning the logic

Static pages led to PHP, databases, forums and user systems. Building and breaking things by hand taught me patience, and how to see the logic beneath the interface.

Chapter 03

When other people depended on it

Through my father’s business identity, experimentation became client work. Delivering a complex rental platform in Greece and selling custom scripts internationally turned curiosity into professional responsibility.

Chapter 04

From websites to systems

Projects grew into communities, dashboards, booking logic and custom platforms. I began thinking less about individual pages and more about architecture, maintenance and what happens after launch.

Chapter 05

The quiet work became the standard

E-commerce, management platforms, migrations and long-term support made the invisible work central. Stability, clean fixes and continuity mattered more than public recognition.

Chapter 06

Building an operating method

As websites, CRM flows and custom workflows began moving together, the challenge became operational as well as technical. Better systems, communication and judgment made quality repeatable.

2019 to 2023

Chapter 07

Recurring problems became products

AutoBot, HandsApp, Leado and LineWeb AI grew from patterns I kept seeing in real businesses. Product work added daily use, support and the long-term consequences of every small decision.

Chapter 08

Experience without mythology

Lineweb now carries that experience across software, products, automation, security and growth. My goal remains simple: listen carefully, make sound decisions and stay responsible when the work becomes difficult.

What a CV leaves out

Some work
never became an invoice.

Online shops for retailers left out of e-lianiko, local offline tools and practical marketing help are part of my own account of the work. ARTville is one publicly documented pro bono project. I tell this history without adding client counts or private details.
