About

Hi, I’m Florents! Friends call me Flo. I was born 34 years ago. After living the first five years of my life in Visokë, Albania, my family moved to Salamina, Greece, where I grew up. I now split my time between Athens and Salamina.

I self-identify as a data generalist. My work sits at the intersection of database engineering, AI, web crawling, and data journalism - blending research, engineering, and leadership along the way.

I’m an active open-source developer and author of multiple database extensions, primarily for PostgreSQL, and also for SQLite and DuckDB.

My open-source software projects are available on github.com/Florents-Tselai. My professional profile is on LinkedIn

I also do pro-bono work for non-profits.

If you think we could work together or would just like to talk, let’s talk!

If you’re a Greek journalist, politician, or concerned citizen, you may have come across diofanti.org, a civic-tech platform I’ve built that promotes government transparency and citizen empowerment, enabling people to track public spending and decisions in Greece. government spending in Greece. Here’s a demo video showcasing it.

I try to read as many books as possible. I’m generally interested in the evolution of military strategy and the history of war, as well as the evolution of trade throughout human history.
