Solutions Architect · Amsterdam
Building agentic AI systems and cloud infrastructure that turns complexity into clarity — at the intersection of technology and real-world impact.
About
My journey began with an endless curiosity for how things work — from computers and film cameras to ATM machines, always drawn to unravelling the underlying logic of technology. I thrive on creating robust solutions and tackling technical challenges, constantly seeking to learn new domains and master unfamiliar territory.
Originally from Greece, I embraced my love for real-world applications by co-founding a startup, an experience that fuelled my passion not just for technology but for the art of building businesses. To deepen my understanding, I pursued a master's degree in finance alongside computer engineering — an education that equipped me to bridge the worlds of technology and entrepreneurship with clarity and purpose.
Today, I call Amsterdam home and work at KPN, where I design agentic AI systems and cloud infrastructure for telecommunications — exploring the boundless possibilities that modern AI and cloud unlock for mission-critical operations. I devote my energy to tackling impactful, complex problems, collaborating and learning from others; each experience helping me uncover the influences and ambitions that define my journey.
Experience
My career started where it felt most natural — building real things. Co-founding a startup while still a student gave me a taste of what it means to own a problem end-to-end, and that instinct has shaped everything since. From there I joined AWS as an Associate Solutions Architect through their graduate program, and over five years earned two promotions to L6 — working across cloud modernisation, ML, and generative AI, speaking at re:Invent and re:MARS, and writing for the AWS ML Blog. I left not because I'd run out of road, but because I wanted to be closer to the product — architecting systems that matter in production. That's what brought me to KPN.
Solutions Architect — Agentic AI
Designing scalable agentic AI architectures for autonomous network operations. Translating business goals into implementable blueprints, driving governance, and coaching teams on responsible AI delivery.
Over five years, grew from graduate hire to L6 — advising customers across cloud modernisation, ML, and generative AI. Featured speaker at re:Invent 2024 and re:MARS 2022. AWS ML Blog contributor reaching 15K+ readers.
Co-founder & Software Engineer
Built and shipped as a co-founder while still completing my engineering degree — Python, data science, and ML prototypes. The experience of building something from nothing set the tone for everything that followed.
Selected Work
AWS · Machine Learning
Co-authored AWS blog post and implementation guide for training a 6-billion-parameter GPT-J model using Amazon SageMaker's distributed model parallel library. Covers tensor parallelism, pipeline parallelism, and FP16 training to reduce cost and time at scale.
