Work Experience

AI Engineer Master’s Thesis Student at BMW Group
June 30, 2025 - July 29, 2025
Lead the development of an AI model to enable a voice assistant to proactively offer recommendations in cars. Developed a data collection and preprocessing pipeline with real-time labeling interface using FastAPI. Trained and fine-tuned AI models including CNN (TensorFlow), Transformer (PyTorch), and LLM (HuggingFace) on time-series vehicle data. Benchmarked models against rule-based methods, achieving nearly 2x better performance. Deployed the best model with quantization for hardware constraints and conducted human evaluations.
AI Software Engineer Intern at BMW Group
October 31, 2024 - July 29, 2025
Contributed to the Interior Personal Assistant research team by deploying large language models for text-generation tasks. Tested OpenAI models against resource-efficient HuggingFace models. Implemented advanced techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and prompt engineering strategies including Chain-of-Thought reasoning and Few-Shot Prompting.
NLP Engineer at Fast AI Movies
February 28, 2024 - July 29, 2025
Fine-tuned large language models like Flan-T5 and Mistral for keyword generation, reaching an F1-score of 0.85. Also fine-tuned a Stable Diffusion model for generating icons from keywords using HuggingFace frameworks.
Teaching Assistant at University of Thessaly
July 31, 2022 - July 29, 2025
Provided teaching assistance for courses ECE417: Machine Learning and ECE518: Statistics.
Research Scientist at University of Thessaly
July 31, 2022 - July 29, 2025
Worked on business failure and insolvency prediction for Greek companies. Developed statistical and machine learning models for bankruptcy prediction using supervised, semi-supervised, and transfer learning techniques (TensorFlow, Scikit-learn), achieving 89% accuracy. Published research on bankruptcy prediction for small and medium-sized Greek enterprises using imbalanced data.
R&D Engineer Intern at Netcompany-Intrasoft
September 30, 2021 - July 29, 2025
Conducted data preprocessing and trained neural networks for time series forecasting to predict tool wear, using TensorFlow.
AI Engineer Master’s Thesis Student at BMW Group
June 30, 2025 - August 1, 2025
Developed a data collection, cleaning, and preprocessing pipeline of vehicle signals with an interface (FastAPI) for real-time labeling. Trained and fine-tuned AI models including CNN in TensorFlow, Transformer in PyTorch, and LLM in HuggingFace using time-series data. Benchmarked models against Rule-Based and Context-Change Detection methodologies, achieving nearly 2× better performance with AI models.
