Hi, my name is Costas Nicou<\/strong>, and technology has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as curiosity\u2014how computers work, why things break, and how to make them better\u2014quickly became a real passion and, eventually, a career path I\u2019ve proudly followed for years.<\/p>\n I began my academic journey at Cyprus College<\/strong>, where I completed a two-year diploma in Computer Technology<\/strong>. I graduated with a 4.0\/4.0 GPA<\/strong> and received an Academic Excellence Award<\/strong>, an achievement I\u2019m especially proud of because it reflects not only performance, but also consistency, discipline, and love for the field. Wanting to expand my knowledge further, I continued my studies and earned a BSc in Computing from Edinburgh Napier University<\/strong>, where I strengthened both my technical foundation and my problem-solving mindset.<\/p>\n Professionally, I\u2019ve worked in Web Development & IT support roles where reliability, communication, and speed matter, while gaining valuable experience in real-world troubleshooting, user support, and working in demanding environments. My last employment was at Noteris Services Ltd which gave me the opportunity to grow my skillset. There\u00a0I handled a wide range of support tasks, learned to work efficiently under pressure, and developed the confidence that comes from solving problems that truly affect people\u2019s day-to-day work.<\/p>\n Outside of my main job roles, I\u2019ve always enjoyed building things. Web development<\/strong> is a hobby of mine, and I love the creative side of turning ideas into functional, clean websites.<\/p>\n I\u2019m also passionate about Linux and server administration, which led me to earn certification as a Red Hat Linux System Administrator<\/strong>\u2014a milestone that deepened my appreciation for system reliabi0lity, security, and performance.<\/p>\n To keep learning and practicing, I also set up and maintain my own home-based web server<\/strong> as a personal project. I treat it like a mini real-world environment: configuring services, improving performance, troubleshooting issues, and keeping things organized and secure. Projects like this keep my skills sharp and remind me why I enjoy tech so much\u2014the learning never stops.<\/p>\n Today, I continue to combine professional experience with personal curiosity. Whether it\u2019s supporting users, building websites, or working with systems behind the scenes, my goal is always the same: make technology work smoothly, reliably, and efficiently for the people who use\u00a0<\/strong>it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi, my name is Costas Nicou, and technology has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
