Sargalias

Hi, I'm Spyros Argalias,

Full stack developer specialising in JavaScript, React and Express

Also experienced in all aspects of modern full stack development.

Code is an essential part of everything in modern society. However when we get it wrong it can be very dangerous and very expensive to fix. I believe the solution is to treat software development as an engineering process and not just glue hacks together until something works.

Experienced in writing secure, accessible, high quality software

Issues with security, accessibility and code quality can cost companies a substantial amount of money. Among other statistics:

  • 67% of organisations report being breached
  • a ransomware attack occurs every 11 seconds
  • accessibility lawsuits are rapidly increasing
  • projects are only 10% likely to be successful if they don’t apply good software development practices

(For more information, see software dangers)

With my experience, I can be an asset to your team and help you avoid these problems.
