Michael Chourdakis

I was born in Greece in 1977. All my life is associated with my passions: Music, Technology, Programming, and Travelling. I'm a senior, seasoned musician, teacher and full-stack developer with a PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Signal Processing. I work in music since the 90s in various fields, including teaching, performing, composing and app-developing with Artificial Intelligence.

In 2023 I was awarded by the Ministry of Digital Affairs, Greek Government, for my influence and work in the Greek Digital Systems.

Since 2022, I am married to Sylvia, the one and only woman that managed to change my life.
