Panos is an automation, network and Linux engineer from Greece. Currently, he lives in Nuremberg where he's employed as Specialist QA Engineer by SUSE for testing maintenance updates related to Kubernetes, Docker, Saltstack and Cloud-Foundry. He's working on test definition and test designing, executing and reviewing test-cases and test environments (openQA, Jenkins), while implementing automation (CI/CD) where's possible. As a member of Call-Duty team, he's testing patches against critical security vulnerabilities and 0-day exploits upon request.

Panos started as a hardware hacker -- overclocking enthusiast, and since then he tried a lot of things (computer vision, machine learning, pentesting, lecturing, teaching) until he found his true passion of sharing knowledge to the world as a technical editor in well-known IT websites/magazines. Occasionally, he gets requests for reviewing technical books also.

He plays piano and guitar, while enjoying beer-sessions with friends afterwards. His favorite movies are LotR and StarWars!
