About

Final-year M.Eng student at the Department of Information & Communication Systems Engineering (ICSD), University of the Aegean. I design and ship secure-by-default software with a strong focus on Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence. I’m fascinated by how systems fail (and how to make them fail-safe), from threat modeling and reverse engineering to AI safety and privacy.

I currently balance a full final-year workload at ICSD with hands-on work: small security gigs, research-driven prototypes, and private/open-source projects I contribute to pro-bono this season. My focus is building robust systems, documenting clearly, and keeping security practical for dev teams.

  • What I’m looking for: Security/AI-Security internship or junior role (EU/Remote).
  • Strengths: clear writing, reproducible labs, defensive mindset, fast learning.
  • Values: privacy, transparency, and impact over buzzwords.
