“Impossible is a word that does not exist in my vocabulary,” says George Delaportas, CEO and Enterprise Architect of Pandoo TEK Inc.
Pandoo TEK Inc. is located in Vancouver, Canada, and specialises in Research and Development of web-based technologies, products and services. George Delaportas and Michael Patellis founded the company in June 2013, and are currently presenting their flagship project, PANDOO, a web platform tailored to the needs of users and developers.
By accessing this alternative operating system through their web browser, users can run applications and entertain themselves in a way where they feel the internet is personalised. For web engineers, it provides an ecosystem for coding, testing, deploying and running applications, games and services without the need to buy third party software.
What makes the difference is that users have access to an infinite source of web apps, in contrast to their computer that runs software specifically coded for their current operating system and hardware.
Without computing power or hard disk limitations – as it offers unlimited cloud storage – it integrates all web apps in one place and is completely free.
Observing the needs of the market for evolution was what prompted the company to create this user-sensitive web.
“We don’t just invest in the future, we build it,” they claim their motto to be.
Canada-based Greek entrepreneur George Delaportas, CEO and enterprise architect of the company, completed his secondary studies in Kerkyra. After graduating from the Technological Educational Institute of Lamia, as an Informatics and Computer Engineer, he pursued a Master’s degree in Networking and Data Communications at Kingston University, London, followed by a PhD at the University of Piraeus in the Informatics Department, for which he requested a deferral in 2012.
He has been working in various programming languages since the young age of 14 and started in the field of computer science and engineering even before he obtained his first degree.
“Impossible, for me, is a word that does not exist.”
“I love my work because I like challenges. Software development has always been a challenge for me because in order to find more effective and innovative ways to optimise the final results I had to hack deep inside the core of each application,” says the 29-year-old.
The idea for PANDOO originated from George Delaportas and serial entrepreneur Michael Patellis, well-known for his business endeavours in the seaplane industry in Greece. They both live in Vancouver, Canada, where the company is based.
The rest of the members of the management team work remotely through the internet, from a number of other countries, including Greece, Holland, England, Serbia and Bosnia. This can give an initial explanation to the title of the product ‘PANDOO’ [in Greek meaning: everywhere].
“If your feet are touching the ground then your mind could reach the sky,” according to head market analyst of PANDOO, Yannis Sourvinos.
Even though the initial version of the idea was focused on the medical and pharmaceutical industry, Mr Delaportas was the person who suggested a total web solution integrating software systems all around the world and facilitating the use of personalised internet services, regardless of the device used.
“My point of view is that hard work and creativity in conjunction with knowledge is always more efficient than cleverness,” says the Greek entrepreneur.
Revenue for the project will come from advertising and promotional sources, as well as from fees and commissions for the purchase and creation of online applications.
