I’m Dimitris Zoumpakis, a computer information systems student and IT professional from Greece living in Cyprus. Since 17 I’ve worked in retail, university IT support, and now telecommunications — building resilience and technical problem-solving skills under pressure. Today I’m focused on networking, cybersecurity, and my own homelab while studying for the CCNA and Security+. Looking ahead, I’m drawn to roles at the intersection of security, networking, and product, especially GRC and technical product management with a long-term eye on the defense industry. Alongside this I run the Digital Resurrection Lab, where I restore old hardware and advocate for tech recycling and the right to repair. I’m still early in the journey, but I’ve already been tested in real environments — and my goal is simple: keep building skills, keep proving myself, and move into roles where I can make an impact.
