Aristides S Bouras

I was born in 1973, and from my early childhood, I discovered a passion for computer programming. At the age of 12, I got my first computer—a Commodore 64, which incorporated a ROM-based version of the BASIC programming language and 64 kilobytes of RAM. It introduced me to the world of programming! I hold a degree in Computer Engineering from the Technological Educational Institute of Piraeus. Additionally, I earned Dipl. Eng. and Integrated Master's degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Democritus University of Thrace. Over the years, I've designed various applications, including warehouse management systems and websites for diverse companies and organizations. In my previous role as a software developer at a company specializing in industrial data flow and product labeling, my responsibilities included developing software applications for data terminals and PC software for data collection and storage on a database server. Presently, I serve as a computer science teacher in a vocational high school, instructing courses on computer programming, computer networks, programming tools for the Internet/intranets, and databases. I've authored several books, primarily focusing on algorithmic and computational thinking, utilizing languages such as Python, C#, Java, C++, PHP, and Visual Basic. Outside of my professional pursuits, I am happily married and have the joy of raising two wonderful children.
