I'm Yannis and I'm originally from Athens, Greece 🇬🇷. Currently, I'm a Founding Engineer at Friday Harbor, an AI startup for mortgage origination and underwriting.
In the past, I've enjoyed working in a variety of similar roles including Software / Platform / Data Engineering, and Data Science and Machine Learning for various industries including fintech, oil & gas, commodities trading, and retail. I get excited about building systems that scale and solving hard technical problems. My interests span programming languages, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, databases, and developer tooling. I thrive in startup environments at the intersection of great engineering and business impact where I can take full ownership of projects spanning product idea, architecture, implementation, and deployment.
In my free time, I enjoy working out, traveling with my family, programming, listening to music & podcasts, reading, and learning. If you'd like to get in touch, please feel free to reach out by email. You can also contact me on X or LinkedIn, but I check both less frequently.
