About George Sakelaris:
With a Bachelor's in Computer Science from DePaul University, I specialize in creating innovative full stack software applications (for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Web, iOS, Android). I have designed and engineered backend infrastructures as well as front-end user interfaces. As a software developer at Resilience Inc., I led the backend development for a mobile app designed to assist refugees, integrating MongoDB and React Native to integrate the front and back ends. I thrive in cross functional teams, bringing strong problem solving skills and a gift in effective communication. Outside of tech, I'm passionate about health & fitness, mixed martial arts, and engaging with the latest in gaming, music, and podcasts.
