My journey began with a silver medal at the Greek Physics Olympiad, sparking a deep fascination with how mathematical principles shape the physical world. This led me to pursue Mechanical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), where I specialized in computational methods and aerodynamics.

Today, I work at Tesla on the Optimization Team, where I build large-scale computational platforms that drive engineering decisions. My work sits at the intersection of software engineering and applied physics — creating tools that make complex optimization accessible and efficient.

What drives me is the challenge of translating intricate physical phenomena into elegant computational solutions. Whether it's designing UAV aerodynamics or building optimization frameworks, I'm passionate about solving problems that push the boundaries of what's computationally possible.
