Top moment of his career is along with his, at the time, team, Cytech they undertook all technologies related to the fight against covid (PLF passenger locator form, DCC Digital Covid Certificate, Covid Tracker, Testing platforms and many others) and assisted Greek tourism, society and economy to make it through the turmoil and set a global benchmark, acknowledged worldwide, of how countries needed to address covid related issues.
