About
I'm Christos Sotiriou, a software engineer and architect. Oramind is my personal blog: a place to work through ideas, document experiments and share what I learn from building software.
I write about backend systems, cloud infrastructure, architecture, developer tooling and AI. Some articles are practical guides to getting something working. Others examine a decision, a tradeoff or a question that stayed with me after the implementation was finished.
Much of that writing comes from experience with production systems. I'm interested in how technology behaves under real constraints: existing infrastructure, growing teams, operational overhead and the need to keep things running while changing them.
I also use this space to follow my curiosity beyond day-to-day work, whether that means exploring a new tool, thinking about the direction of software engineering, or writing about books, games and other interests.
My professional home is christossotiriou.com. There you'll find my selected projects and case studies, public engagements and professional background. Here, you'll find the ideas and exploration around that work.
You can find me on GitHub and LinkedIn. If an article raises a question—or you have a different perspective—I'd be glad to hear from you.
