About Me
Beyond the Code
Online I go by nickouv — I am Nick Kouvalias. Based in Sweden, planning to move back to Greece; eight years shipping telecom, WebRTC, marketplaces, and industrial vision systems.
~/about.md
> Senior full-stack engineer / DevOps with experience from Ericsson (cloud-native telco, Kubernetes, Kafka, security) and Onmo (low-latency WebRTC gaming and playable ads, hybrid AWS + on-prem, CI/CD from scratch).
> Today I freelance and build products: WorkSpo (Laravel + Flutter marketplace), Lifelike Agents (voice automation with LLMs and Twilio), and experiments in applied AI video tooling.
> Earlier I led engineering for Talos Robot Vision (welding seam tracking, C# / .NET, Azure, OpenCV, industrial robot integrations).
> I like small iterations, measurable outcomes, and production habits: observability, incident response, and reviews people can follow later. EU citizen; English and Greek fluent, Swedish comfortable.
