Since 2016, he has taught various subjects, including constitutional law and inheritance law, as a visiting lecturer at UCLan Cyprus University. He is one of the authors of the legal treatise "Tenancy Law in Cyprus" and has also published articles on legal and political topics.
He has always been an active citizen with a particular interest and concern for the peaceful resolution of the Cyprus problem and the reconciliation of the two major communities in Cyprus. For this reason, he learned Turkish at a young age and sought to participate in various initiatives aimed at mutual understanding and promoting historical truth. He was also an active member of organised groups in the Morphou District, including Digenis Akritas, of which he was president in 2011-12, and the Youth Council.
In 2023, when the initiative to create Volt in Cyprus was launched, he actively participated in the founding committee and served as co-chair of the party during the period 2023-24. In 2024, at Volt's first electoral congress, he was elected vice-president.
