I like tech.

About

I think soft skills are as, if not more, important than hard skills. But then again, I am an introvert.I also think most problems can be solved via proper communication. Those that can't, make me sit on my laptop for hours; but the dopamine hit is worth it. Born in Greece, living in Germany since 2013, supporting customers in DACH and beyond.

Experience

Customer Success Technical Architect

Dec 2023 – Present

Confluent (acquired by IBM in 2026)

My goal is that my customers' systems are healthy, secured, and do not cause any headaches. I work together with developers or devOps teams to achieve that. Most of the time I'm just asking "why?".

IT Consultant

Aug 2021 – Nov 2023

Concept Reply

Writing code every day. Nice times.

Co-Founder

Nov 2020 – Mar 2022

Terano Food UG

Co-founded a plastic-free grocery delivery service. I think the idea was solid, maybe slightly ahead of its time. We had razor thin margins, no traction, and a lot of manual labor to manage it on the side.

Research Assistant

Jun 2020 – Sep 2020

Technical University of Munich

I was evaluating map-matching algorithms, and got to code the most terrible data pipeline. Hindsight is a great thing.

Analyst & Working Student

Jun 2017 – Jun 2020

Altran (acquired by Capgemini)

This is where my "enterprise" coding experience started. I developed a hyperledger-based DApp when blockchain was still a thing. Then, together with a good friend, we developed an Android app for truck drivers to do "platooning". Data Streaming could really be used here.

Education

Projects

Streaming Agent Architectures

Collection of agentic architectures implemented for data streaming

Code

Client Side Encryption

Instead of spending tokens for a guessed implementation of a client that uses CSFLE use my (deterministic) code generator.

Code

Tableflow Examples

Getting started with ingesting analytical data into the operational space is not easy. This serves as a solid template to do it. Plus, I plugged trino as a query engine to see what you ingest.

This one is still brewing, but will be out soon. (written on 07.06.2026)
