My name is Michael Chourdakis, and I was born in Greece in 1977. All my life is assosiated with my passions: Music, Technology, Programming, and Travelling.
I'm a senior, seasoned musician, teacher and full-stack developer with a PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Signal Processing. I work in music since the 90s in various fields, including teaching, performing, composing and app-developing with Artificial Intelligence.
Since 2022, I am married to Sylvia, the one and only woman that managed to change my life. I met her in 2017, the happiest year in my life.

Nowadays I don't anymore have time to play such a game, but I do create video movies of those games. See the Adventure Game Movies.

I favored heavily the romantic era, especially Fr. Liszt's works.
However, in 2000 I decided to drop that part of music and work on DSP and artificial intelligence, so there was no more time for piano performance.
The few recordings from that era I still have now are of bad quality, but I 've managed to work on AI restoration of them. Here 's a demo:

All of them eventually emerged into Turbo Play and my my PhD.

I also teach adults into e-goverment, music technology, education technology and technology in general. I'm an adult educator at national Ministry of Education level since 2019.
I also participate in a lot of Ministry of Education commitees, related to the exams, the education system, the books policy, the technology in general and the music education in Greece.
Since 2020 I 'm a member of the Scientific Committee for Music Education in Greece.
For my e-goverment work in Music School of Alimos, I was awarded the "Digital Award 2022" award by the Ministry of Digital Governance in Greece. More about the award here.

Back in 2004 I visualized an all-in-one application with AI features. Yet the project didn't start until 2020.
Now, this application practically contains all my life in the PC science, which includes Audio Engineering, Image Effects, Video Editing, and AI features. It contains over 20 third-party downloadable AI modules with over 100GB in total size.

Based on my well-known Turbo GPS Android Application (which reached 700.000 users back in 2013...), it is now offering mapping professionals an opportunity to combine legacy hardware with newer software.
The client base of GPSComplete is more than 100 large-scale clients.
For this work, I was awarded the "Digital Award 2022" award by the Ministry of Digital Governance in Greece. More about the award here.
I have written over 70 programming articles in CodeProject, including articles about:
- C++
- Intel Assembly
- Android development
- iOS development
- Web development
- Windows development
- PHP
- Python
- AI

More on it (greek) here.
I have visited over 50 countries and I love photography and sightseeting (one of the reasons I developed Turbo Play!).
See all my photo albums here.
I have various YouTube playlists.
See my "Travel with Michael" play list here.
I frequently convert with AI adventure games, see my "Adventure Game Movies" play list here.
