I am pleased to write this recommendation for Nektarios. I had the chance to work with Nektarios for approx. 18 months (01/02/2008-30/06/2009), when he joined Athens Information Technology on the basis of his expertise with RFID projects. We collaborated very closely in the scope of the ASPIRE EU project, which setup the AspireRfid Open Source Project (http://wiki.aspire.ow2.org/). Nektarios played an instrumental role in setting up this open source project. I recall I put a lot of pressure on him in the beginning of the project, and Nektarios was proven to be a very good team player that was capable to meet hard-to-get deadlines. He has a broad knowledge on ICT ranging from programming languages, tools and techniques, to assessing the business value of ICT systems. In addition to his work on the ASPIRE project, Nektarios was enthousiastic in engaging in other projects including teaching on Java, integration work for pervasive computing systems, as well as preparation of R&D proposals. This is because he is a trully multidisciplinary character. I really enjoy working with him and I recommend him as a dedicated and productive professional, with singificant knowledge on RFID systems. I wish him all the best in the next steps of his career and look forward to future collaborations as well.

Nektarios has a solid background in computer science and more specifically in development. He tries hard to achieve objectives and overdelivers in job tasks. Moreover, having a collaborative and conflict averse personality, Nektarios works effectively as a part of a team. I would strongly recommend partnerships with Nektarios.
