Eleftherios Psitopoulos
Front end developer. Scrum master. Stuff creator.I believe great things can be achieved through the use of technology and research. But those are merely the tools. Behind the tools are the people. Teamwork and passion, those are what matter the most.
About me
My name is Eleftherios Psitopoulos. I started learning how to program with C around the age of 12. One my first achievements was creating a RPG game that was played on the terminal. It was not something big, but it was at that moment I decided that technology will be a big part of my life. Learning how to use different programming languages and how to "think programmatically", I stumbled upon HTML and CSS. The concept of the internet and how it can connect people from all around the world fascinated me.
Since then, I had the oportunity to work on various projects with a plethora of clients as a freelancer, as well as be part of highly motivated teams in international companies where my range of knowledge grew exponentially.
Nowadays, I'm part of an entrepreneurial team within trivago. My role is senior front end developer and my responsibilities include ensuring high quality in the codebase, brainstorming for fresh ideas and a passion to constantly learn and grow.
I strongly believe in teamwork and the wonders that can be achieved when we work together in trust of each other and proper feedback. Being lucky to be part of such teams, I've always had the feeling of achievemnt after work. The feeling of having made the world a little bit better through technology.
Projects highlight
I take pride on all projects I have worked on. Each one has been a unique experience that enabled me to learn and grow while providing solutions and value to each client and end-user. Below is some of my latest work.
Personal projects
Leksokefalia
During the hype of the game Wordle, I realised that I would like to play the game in Greek. Over a weekend, I dedicated my evenings on this project. Since then, I've been playing it daily.
Play nowKikiriki
Kikiriki is an online alarm clock. Users can set multiple alarms and choose from different sounds. I'm a heavy sleeper and kikiriki was a way to ensure I always wake up on time.
Email signature
I created this app where users can generate their own email signature. There are many such tools but most require payment. I created this free one for students of my email signature course.
View siteYT giveaway
There are many tools to handle giveaways on YouTube, but most of them are somewhat complicated. This tool is created to be straightforward with limited options.

Publications
My curiosity spans beyond technology. In the spirit of learning about the publishing world and implement solutions to different problems, I ended up publishing some prints myself.

A daily lesson planner and calendar for teachers, for the school year 2020 - 2021. My wife is a teacher, and after listening to her needs, going through her daily notes and lesson schedule, I created this fully- featured planner for her.

Besides lesson plans, it seems that teachers keep all sorts of notes. This is a simple notebook I also created for my wife's needs.

Kind words certainly motivate you to move forward and upwards keeping a positive mindset, especially when those words come from wonderful teams you’ve worked with.

Some fun facts about this website I wanted to share with you. If you wondered about those things, now you know.
What is Bakedbird
Bakedbird, however weird it may sound when you first see it, is the literal translation of my last name, Psitopoulos, in English.
The yellow colour
I chose yellow as the main colour of this website because of my canary bird from which I draw inspiration every day.
The logo
Just by combining the previous two facts, you can get where the logo comes from. In fact, it was originally blue for years, before I got the canary.
