Phillipos Mazaris

My name is Phillipos Mazaris, and I am 19 years old. I am the second of three children in my family. With my German and Greek roots, I grew up bilingual and am fluent in both German and Greek. At the age of 12, I was first introduced to programming. I began by creating simple computer games, an experience that sparked my interest in the world of computer technology and revealed the vast possibilities within this field. Consequently, I decided to attend the Higher Technical Institute (HTL) to further develop my programming skills. During my time at HTL, I discovered a passion for network technology and IT security. The challenges and opportunities these fields present fascinated me and inspired me to delve deeper into them. Outside of school, I enjoy engaging in video editing and photo editing, which expand my creative skills. Additionally, I am passionate about playing basketball, which not only provides a balance to my studies but also enhances my teamwork and strategic thinking abilities. As part of my diploma thesis, KELAG approached us with a specific problem that needed to be solved. During the development of the thesis, we realized that this problem was not only relevant to KELAG but could also be applied globally. This experience showed me the importance of developing innovative solutions that have broad applicability.
