About

I’m an alumni ECE student at the University of Patras. Experienced in programming and embedded systems, with a passion to explore new technologies, face challenges, and continuously evolve. Over the last 2 years I’ve focused on building real-world applications, especially for robotics — from full-stack interfaces to algorithms that simulate robot behaviour.

Experience

Research & Developer Engineer · Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems & Automation (LMS)· 2023 – present
  • Implemented an LLM-powered operator assistance chatbot (Python, RAG, prompt engineering) integrated with REST APIs and WebSockets, plus a JavaScript/HTML/CSS frontend with audio I/O to support collaborative robotic tasks (e.g., refrigerator assembly/disassembly) and bicycle visual inspection.
  • Maintained a station controller (Java Enterprise / Java EE) orchestrating schedules and tasks across human and robotic resources.
  • Designed and developed an evaluation tool with metrics-based scenario assessment, analytics, and visualization, consuming scenarios from an external generator.
  • Implemented a containerised, context-aware Moodle environment, extended with custom plugins for adaptive learning, automated trainee progression, and real-time synchronisation with external performance data.
  • Integrated optimization algorithms to support robotic assembly of elevator electrical panels.
  • Trained team members on the use and maintenance of delivered software solutions.

Publications

Co-author — “Closing the Loop Between Training and Shop-Floor Performance in Industrial Setups”· CLF 2026 (accepted for publication)

Education

Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Patras· 2017 – 2025
  • Diploma Thesis: Quantum circuit design for cryptography — designed and implemented a lightweight cipher (SIMPLE-RECTANGLE) with Python/Qiskit, demonstrating reversible quantum-circuit encryption/decryption.
