Summary

I am a passionate and goal-oriented engineer with a strong focus on Human-Computer Interactions and future-oriented strategies. Recently, I worked at the Institute of Aerospace Medicine within cognitive science to analyze and classify attention and fatigue using real-world data. My specialization enables a deep analysis of human behaviors, medical/ psychological aspects and object recognition through data, images or videos. With over 9 years of practical experience in Software Engineering and more than 4 years in Artificial Intelligence, I bring a unique perspective, cultural awareness and multilingual skills (English, German, Greek, Spanish) gained through a unique mix of international experiences. I have a positive, can-do attitude and a willingness to learn new skills.
