About

Software engineer by trade. Product builder by habit.

I'm Anna Sofrona, a software engineer based in Greece. Day to day, I work on production platform features and release engineering for a high-traffic betting and gaming platform — the kind of environment where a bad deploy is visible immediately, and reliability isn't optional.

Outside of that, I design and build my own products from scratch: a monitoring platform, a task management app, and a content and product brand. On those, I own every decision — what to build, how it should work, how it's architected, and what "done" means — the same way I'd want to own a feature at work, just without a ticket telling me what to do.

My background also includes web and UI design in Figma, which allows me to move comfortably between product design and implementation — I'm not just handed a finished design to translate into code.

I use AI-assisted tooling the way I use any other tool in the loop — to move faster through boilerplate, exploration, and repetitive work. The product direction, the architecture, the UX calls, and the decision about whether something is actually good enough to ship are mine.
