I build backend systems that have to keep working when things go wrong. At Engel & Völkers I lead the notification service for the CRM and real-estate platform, maintain the real-time calling platform and drive platform upgrades — favouring event-driven design, clear service boundaries and observability built in from the start. Before software I spent three years as an avionics inspector on F-16s with the Hellenic Air Force, an environment where checklists and failure modes aren't optional. On the side I'm building Brainyo, an AI-native knowledge base, and I'm most interested in software architecture and practical LLM integration.
Backend Software Engineer at Engel & Völkers Technology (Athens TechHub), working on the CRM and real-estate platform
Lead the design and implementation of the platform's multi-channel notification service and guide the team building it. Key decisions: an event-driven architecture that decouples producers from delivery channels, exactly-once delivery guarantees, and observability built in from day one.
Maintain and extend real-time call routing for inbound leads. Architected around the realities of live communication — idempotent event handling and graceful degradation — so it can keep growing without becoming fragile.
Drive JDK and framework upgrades across services and fix reliability issues in production code, so the platform stays predictable as it grows.
Built an AI plugin that generates and updates feature documentation straight from code changes, so docs stay in step with what ships.
Side project: an AI-native knowledge base designed around a hexagonal architecture, strict multi-tenant isolation, hybrid AI search and EU data residency.
Designed data pipelines connecting IoT devices to search and analytics, and federated identity across partner organisations in EU research projects.
I researched micro-service placement policies for cost optimization in Kubernetes and contributed to a research publication.
I volunteered with the TEDxChania Marketing and Copyright team, developing social media and copywriting experience while operating the Eventee app during TEDxChania Salon 2023.
