Founders
Hi! We are Dimitris (left) and Stelios (right), and we are computer systems guys!
We have been working together since 2014, and in 2023, we founded Warestack!
What is our story?
Stelios was Dimitris' undergraduate thesis supervisor at the Technical University of Crete in Greece. Then, Dimitris was introduced to the area of distributed systems while Stelios was a postdoctoral researcher. After completing his studies, Dimitris moved to London to study a PhD under Stelios' mentorship. It was during his doctoral research that the Warestack idea was born. Since January 2024, we have been working towards the one-click workflows for any codebase solution!
