Your Name

Hi, I am

AI Engineer

A Machine Learning & AI Engineer with over 3 years of experience building intelligent, data-driven systems across sectors like Agronomy, Energy Management, and Biomedicine and Public Sectors. My work blends research and engineering — from leading the ImageCLEFmedical 2022 Caption Prediction Task (1st & 2nd place) to deploying production-ready ML models and AI-powered applications. I specialize in deep learning, NLP, and Generative AI, and regularly work with tools like Python, SQL, Docker, and Azure. I’m passionate about building robust, scalable solutions that bridge science and real-world impact.

Experience

AI Engineer

@ PwC Greece

I design and deploy AI agents and chatbots that assist users, automate tasks, and provide intelligent, context-aware responses. By integrating Azure OpenAI, Cognitive Search, RAG frameworks, I create systems that can understand, retrieve, and present information seamlessly, delivering adaptive AI-driven experiences tailored to business needs.

My work includes building end-to-end machine learning workflows from scratch, leveraging modern cloud tools to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and production-ready. I have successfully implemented these workflows in complex public sector projects, delivering reliable and efficient AI solutions at scale.

In addition, I develop and optimize RESTful APIs, achieving up to 60% faster data validation and execution. This focus on efficiency has significantly improved the speed and responsiveness of analytics pipelines and operational processes.

I lead the deployment of cloud solutions with a strong emphasis on DevOps best practices. By implementing CI/CD pipelines with Docker, Azure DevOps, and Dev Containers, I ensure consistent environments, faster delivery cycles, and reliable system performance.

Collaboration and mentorship are at the heart of my approach. I work closely with cross-functional teams to align AI solutions with business goals, mentor technical teams, and deliver presentations that translate complex AI concepts into actionable insights.

Beyond my day-to-day projects, I am proud to lead the Python Community at PwC Greece. In this role, I foster collaboration, share best practices, and cultivate a culture of continuous learning and innovation, driving engagement and knowledge sharing across the organization.
