Antonis Christofides

I am a developer and system administrator at the Department of Water Resources, School of Civil Engineering, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). I have been working here since 1994.

I write various kinds of software in my work. The areas I'm most experienced in are web development and software for hydrological time series management. I'm comfortable with relational databases. My favourite tools are Python, Django, and PostgreSQL.

I am a member of the Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII) and of the Hellenic Linux Users Group. I was the vice-president of the FFII in 2007.

In my spare time I practice tai chi chuan. I like cooking and I make my own bread. I also like backpacking and sailing, though I'm not practicing those as much as I'd like. Occasionally I try to play the piano, and I'm particularly fond of Mozart, but I consider myself a miserable failure in that aspect.
