About Me
Hello, I’m Constantinos Evangelou, an interaction designer working for the Digital Services Factory (DSF) who loves to play with code and this is where I write about stuff.
I helped implement various online services for the Government of Cyprus (gov.cy), but what I really enjoy is creating reusable tools to help others create simple, accessible services that improve people’s lives.
DSF projects
The gov.cy design system developer assets project
The project for the documentation pages of the govcy design system
gov.cy - UDS Library in FigmaDynamically renders online service forms using `@gov-cy/govcy-frontend-renderer`, handles data input, validations, renders a review page and submits the data via a submission API.
Render HTML for design elements, as they are defined in the gov.cy Design System based on JSON or njk templates
Build prototypes of gov.cy services and websites using the Unified Design System of gov.cy without coding
Perform front end tests in terms of the accessibility and design guidelines established by the Digital Services Factory (DSF) Cyprus
