I am an engineering leader with a background in building, scaling, and governing software engineering organizations across both product and service delivery-driven environments.

In my current role as Head of Software Engineering & Technology at Piraeus Bank, I focus on leading engineering excellence, delivery predictability, developer productivity, and technology strategy, while elevating the performance and quality of both internal teams and external partners.

Previously, as Head of Engineering at Code Create, I led multiple engineering teams with full ownership of end-to-end project delivery, client growth through enterprise RfPs & MVPs, and technology strategy. Over ~18 months, I led the initiative to secure projects for a diverse portfolio of new clients, generated €250K+ in revenue, and achieved a 100% contract extension rate across all engagements. I also built and led an internal project delivery team from scratch, scaling it to 5 engineers in 6 months, while institutionalizing core technology processes and delivery frameworks.

A key part of my work had been creating repeatable assets and templates:

- Standardized blueprints for startup MVPs and enterprise RfPs
- Company-wide technology strategy and planning framework
- Reusable production-ready templates for ASP.NET Core & Angular applications

Earlier in my career, I worked as an Azure Architect at Microsoft, supporting large-scale Azure adoptions, reducing delivery risk, and enabling enterprises to onboard cloud platforms with confidence.
