About

Independent software engineer delivering end-to-end software solutions for multiple clients. My work includes system design, implementation, deployment, and maintenance of high-performance web applications and websites, with full ownership of technical decisions and an active professional portfolio.

I designed and implemented a full-stack web platform for supporting Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) design and analysis in urban environments. I was responsible for the full-stack development of the platform, including a server infrastructure for offloading computations from the front-end using a RESTful API. I worked closely with researchers and domain experts to translate research requirements into a scalable and maintainable software system used in climate- and energy-related projects.

Project info
Title: “Expanding BIPV city deployment against urban and climate change related temperature increases” is carried out within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan Greece 2.0, funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU (Implementation body: HFRI).
Host organization: University of Patras
Co-operating organizations: National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), University of Ioannina (UOI).

Project: “DIONI: Computing Infrastructure for Big-Data Processing and Analysis”, implemented by the University of Ioannina and funded by the Ministry of Development and Investments, Greece and the European Regional Development Fund.

I contributed to the DIONI project by designing and implementing a scalable and efficient compiler and runtime infrastructure for local and remote acceleration of parallel applications, combining parallel programming techniques with practical software engineering.

I was in charge of the Parallel Systems and Programming course supplementary class, in the Dpt. of Computer Science & Engineering. My responsibilities were the following:

• Teaching
• Preparation of the lectures material (presentations and lab exercises)
• Providing assistance to the undergraduate students attending the class
• Grading the students’ projects and exams

Completed compulsory military service.

Worked as a lead full-stack web developer on innovative web applications and websites for cultural and creative projects. I collaborated closely with designers and clients to translate complex visual concepts into reliable, high-quality web applications and websites, with emphasis on precision, maintainability, performance and pixel-perfection.

PALIMPSEST was a GR-IT Interreg project (2018-2022) that aims to develop an interactive, open-air museum experience in public spaces. To do so, it will restore forgotten layers of the city’s past through the active engagement of the city’s inhabitants and the collaboration of an interdisciplinary team of artists, architects and software engineers among others. PALIMPSEST aspires to revitalize urban spaces and attract high quality tourism.

Designed and implemented an Android application for an interactive, participatory museum platform developed for the city of Ioannina (PALIMPSEST App), as well as a website for on-the-fly creation of auto-animated user stories (PALIMPEST Booth). The software enabled the presentation of user-generated stories and was delivered as a production-ready system in collaboration with designers and project stakeholders.

Thesis title: Acceleration of Parallel Computing in Shared- and Distributed-Memory Systems

Thesis title: Targeting CUDA-Based Graphics Accelerators through OpenMP

Thesis title: Adaptive Runtime Support Mechanism for Devices in the OMPi Compiler

OMPi is a lightweight, open source OpenMP compiler and runtime system for C. It sports an architecture that allows experimentation with a multitude of threading libraries while offering highly competitive performance.

I am a lead developer of OMPi, and since 2016 I have contributed to the complete infrastructure of the project, including compilation, runtime libraries, and performance evaluation of the software.
