I build AI systems that ship to production — not slide decks.

I'm an engineer who's spent 15+ years in the trenches: writing production code, scaling systems, and shipping products that users actually pay for. I've done the startup thing (3× co-founder), the enterprise thing (10 years at BETA CAE Systems), and now I help European businesses get AI systems into production without the typical consulting theater.

The Story So Far

2007

BSc Computer Science

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki

Foundation in algorithms, systems programming, and software engineering.

2009–2019

GUI Developer (Qt, C++)

10 Years

BETA CAE Systems · Thessaloniki, Greece

10 years building Qt-based desktop applications for engineering analysis — model browsers, simulation setup wizards, 3D viewport interactions, results visualization. Also co-developed a web application for real-time collaboration between engineers using the company's CAE tools (Java + React + WebRTC + remote screen control). Long-tenure deep-domain experience that taught me how to build software that runs reliably in production for decades, plus early exposure to real-time multi-user collaboration before it became mainstream. The company continued growing after I left and was acquired by Cadence in 2024 for $1.24B.

2013

MSc Computer Science

Digital Media & Machine Learning focus

Published research on AI-driven software cost estimation using genetic algorithms.

2019–2020

2026

Founder

Current

How I Work

Shipping > Showing

Code in production beats code in slides. Every engagement ends with a working system, not a recommendation document.

Honest Scoping

If your problem doesn't need AI, I'll tell you. If a no-code tool is the right answer, that's what I'll recommend.

GDPR-First

All systems designed for EU compliance from day one. No retrofitting.

Long-term Partner Mindset

I'd rather lose a project than oversell. Most clients come back for round two.
