I’m a senior software engineer and founding engineer with 10+ years of experience building products from the ground up, ranging from real-time collaboration tools and financial dashboards to mobile apps and AI-enhanced workflows. I enjoy turning complex ideas into reliable systems—whether that means WebSocket-powered experiences, GraphQL federations, multi-tenant security, or designing clean UX-friendly flows for data-heavy products. Most recently, I’ve led the development of meeting intelligence pipelines, automated advisor CRM enrichment, document automation for compliant financial PDFs, and live market tracking experiences. I also have a strong product mindset across frontend and backend, having built and owned design systems and rolled out an official iOS app with offline-first meeting recording. I’m based in Athens and work remotely with teams to deliver high-impact, scalable software.
