Stavros Kounis Enterprise Architect https://github.com/skounis

Short Personal Bio

Stavros Kounis, an accomplished software engineer and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in designing and building software, serves as an Enterprise Architect in mission for the European Commission. He holds an engineering degree and has extensive expertise in J2EE, Javascript, web, and mobile technologies. Stavros is actively involved in the development of the EU Digital Identity Wallet, its Architectural Reference Framework, and the ecosystem around it. Additionally, he supported the update of the EU Digital Covid Certificates by the World Health Organization (WHO), and he continues to follow the development of WHO's Global Digital Health Certification Network (GDHCN), although it is not his primary focus at the moment. Previously, Stavros was involved in all aspects of building and delivering the EU Digital Covid Certificates worldwide before its uptake by the WHO.

Short Personal Pitch

I am deeply committed to advancing the mission of the Open Wallet Foundation through my extensive experience and dedication to digital identity and security. As an active contributor to the development of the EU Digital Identity Wallet and its ecosystem, I bring valuable insights and expertise to the Technical Advisory Council. My journey in establishing the EU Digital Covid Certificates as a global standard and supporting its uptake by the World Health Organization has provided me with invaluable experience in governance, operations, and development. This experience uniquely positions me to contribute effectively to the Technical Advisory Council, where I currently hold the role of Vice Chair. As Vice Chair, I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with fellow members and drive innovation in digital wallet technology.

I hereby nominate myself in my personal capacity as a professional and clarify that I will not represent the European Commission in any way.

Thank you, Stavros
