Hello there! I am Dimos, a technology (and fitness) geek at heart, born in Greece and living in London. This is my personal blog, which I called “A curious mind”, because I have been a curious mind ever since I remember myself. Whenever I have some free time and I have something to write about, this is where it goes. You can find a list of all by previous posts here. If you want to get notified about new posts, you can subscribe here. As a general principle, I tend to keep my blog posts immutable in order to preserve thoughts in their original form, but occasionally I might discover something that might make me change my mind or enlighten me more about the topic in question. In these cases, I prefer appending an “update” entry at the end of the blog post with a corresponding date. Hopefully, this helps you get a well-rounded perspective on the topic, while also helping me to track the evolution of my thoughts, which I find to be an interesting activity.

I’ve also written a book about distributed systems for practitioners with the ultimate goal of making concepts around distributed systems easier to understand and reason about. You can get it here. Outside the software world, I enjoy immensely playing football and futsal, travelling around the world and experiencing other cultures.

If you want to reach out, you can find me at raptis.dimos@yahoo.gr.
