Pantelis Kassotis

Pantelis Kassotis is a Greek software engineer and computer scientist as well as an award-winning video game developer, best known as the creator of the Neoblazer series, which has earned multiple honors including Game of the Year - Audience Choice at the Hellenic Game Awards of 2025. He is the founding developer behind Paezo Hellas, having worked on Fortnite (2017) , LEGO Fortnite (2023) , Rocket Racing (2023) , and Fall Guys (2020) . Born in Athens, Greece he graduated from Lyceum of Agios Stefanos and then attended the University of the Aegean to study business administration. After attending business school, Pantelis found his path in technology, teaching himself programming while working on small creative projects. His first commercial game, Gluttony (2021) , was developed during his mandatory military service in the Hellenic Army and encouraged him to pursue game development more seriously. Over the following years, he released several independent titles, steadily growing his technical skills and experience. He later enrolled at the Hellenic Open University to formally study computer science. In 2023 he began collaborating with Epic Games as an outsource developer, taking part in AAA productions while continuing to build his own projects. Despite his reputation in the video game world he still works as a developer and technology consultant in non-gaming projects and gives development guest lectures at schools like Hanze University. His more low-profile work in systems administration has earned him an advisory role with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), advising the organization on internet governance policy.
