Yannis Rizos

Yannis Rizos was born in a small village hidden in the mountains of Epirus and raised in Thessaloniki. He discovered programming at age 7 and soon discovered Larry Wall's three virtues of laziness, impatience, and hubris, which have been his guiding principles thereafter. After earning a BSc in Computer Science, he eventually made his way to Athens, where he now works on TalentLMS. He focuses on backend systems and software architecture, solving complex technical challenges and building reliable solutions. Outside of work, he's a dad, reader, and - when time permits - a gamer.
