Anagnostopoulos

Achilleas Anagnostopoulos has been writing code in a multitude of programming languages since the mid 90s. His main interest lies in building scalable, microservice-based distributed systems where components are interconnected via gRPC or message queues. Achilleas has over 4 years of experience building production-grade systems using Go and occasionally enjoys pushing the language to its limits through his experimental gopher-os project: a 64-bit kernel written entirely in Go. He is currently a member of the Juju team at Canonical, contributing to one of the largest open source Go code bases in existence.
