David Michael liked thisThis is a landmark moment for us at YinzCam, Inc., and for me personally. Panathinaikos F.C. is our first client in Greece. Thank you, Pavlos Polyzogopoulos, for the journey that we have started and taken together, for your unfailing enthusiasm for the digital-transformation projects that we work on with you, and for always pushing for more innovation for the fans. It's not just the ideas and the excitement you generate with us, it's also the kind, genuine, big-hearted person you are. It is such a pleasure and joy to work with you. Thank you, Georgios (George) Stathopoulos, for being such a force of nature in getting things done, and for pushing for this partnership. I absolutely love your ambition to put the club (not just a club, but your club that you grew up as a fan of) on the map for everything that is world-class, both for the new stadium and for the fans. I am so glad to have met you on this journey. You are inspiring. Thank you to Ioanna Triantafylli (the story of how you went back to Greece to make a difference to the club you love is beautiful), and Nondas Kargakis for all of your efforts to promote all of the work that we do. And, finally, but most importantly, thank you to Mr. Giannis Alafouzos, for your belief in us, for your vision for the club, for how much you care, and for choosing to work with us. Panathinaikos FC is a legendary football club, and it's an absolute privilege to work with you and your team. On the YinzCam side, my heartfelt thank-you to George Oakley, who always operates at such a high level of innovation, strategy, accountability, and just gets things done. George, this was simply not possible without you. You are a force of nature, you are our force of nature, and I am so glad and grateful that I have you by my side.David Michael liked thisA New Digital Era for Panathinaikos FC ☘️ We are incredibly proud to announce our partnership with YinzCam, Inc., one of the world's leading sports technology companies, and the launch of the brand-new official Panathinaikos FC mobile app! With an extraordinary track record of delivering digital experiences for some of the biggest sports organizations across like the NBA, NFL, and Premier League, YinzCam has established itself as a global leader in fan engagement and mobile innovation. For a club with the history, legacy, and passionate fanbase of Panathinaikos FC, partnering with a company of this caliber represents much more than launching a new app. It is a statement of ambition and a major step toward building a world-class digital ecosystem for our supporters. Priya Narasimhan, CEO and Founder of YinzCam, stated: "Panathinaikos FC is a legendary football club in Greece, and we wanted to build a world-class mobile app to match the club’s history, its glory, and its loyal fans who have stood behind the club for generations. This app is a first-of-its-kind for us. It’s fully bilingual in Greek and English, and contains media, stats, schedules, and matchday information. What makes this app even more special is that we launched this, from day one, with innovations such as Liquid Glass support and Live Activities on both iOS and Android, as well as haptics-powered splash screens on iOS. Now, you can feel Panathinaikos’ energy in your hands, on your phone, through their app. And, there’s more for the fans: multiple types of games, predictor, trivia, player of the month voting, map-tap game, and more. This is a fan-first football club, and their mobile app celebrates, rewards, and delights fans in all aspects. We are overjoyed and honoured to work with Panathinaikos FC on their club mobile app, and we are just getting started on innovating and building together." George Stathopoulos, Chief Business Officer of Panathinaikos stated: “Our partnership with YinzCam, a company trusted by some of the world’s leading sports organizations across the NBA, NFL and Premier League, reflects the standard of quality we aim to deliver to Panathinaikos fans. Our ambition is to bring world-class technology and expertise to the club, creating a modern digital experience that brings our supporters closer to the team. The launch of our new app is an important first step in this direction, with many more features and capabilities to follow.” We couldn't be more excited to have YinzCam as our technology partner. Together, we are bringing international expertise, cutting-edge innovation, and a shared passion for sports into the hands of Panathinaikos fans everywhere. This is only the beginning.

David Michael liked thisDavid Michael liked thisMy biggest achievement of the year was not delivering technology to an event, but competing in one. After participating in the last two Classic Tetris World Championships, I finally achieved a Top48 in a major event last October in Portland, at the Jonas Cup. Now, it’s back to training and improving for the final tournaments of this season, while already looking ahead to next year’s World Championship.

David Michael liked thisHonored to be named the 2026 SoCal Large Enterprise #ORBIE winner. At UCLA, our work in technology is about the students, faculty, staff, and researchers who depend on it every day. This recognition reflects the dedication of everyone at UCLA Digital & Technology Solutions. I was especially glad to celebrate with my leadership team, Veronica Garcia, Drake Chang, and Jennifer Ferry, whose partnership makes this work possible. I’m proud of what we’re building together and excited about what’s ahead. Thank you, SoCalCIO, for this honor, and congratulations to all of this year’s finalists and winners.
