01. Software Development Background

I have 10 years of experience in programming with Delphi, C++ and C# (.NET Framework), developing cross-platform desktop applications, used by thousands of engineers daily.

In the meanwhile I had the chance to design and develop as a full stack developer interactive web applications using various frameworks like React, WebGL and Three.js on the frontend side and Django, Node.js and Delphi for the implementation of the business logic on the backend side.

02. BIM Expert and Enthusiast

During the last 10 years I worked intentively at CUBUS on the development of BIM (Building Information Modeling) modules and workflows for CEDRUS and STATIK, which are two of the most widely used civil engineering programs in Switzerland, allowing the transition of data from various sources into a meaningful calculation model.

I used open source projects like ifcOpenShell engine and IFC.js in order to develop custom tools that enable architects and civil engineers to work smarter and more efficiently. The last months I am focusing on the development of plugins for various BIM programs (Revit, Archicad, Tekla, Rhinoceros) that accelerate the transition from the architectural to the structural model.

03. Civil Engineering Background

I started my tertiary education at the National Technical University of Athens, where I graduated with a Civil Engineering Degree. Although I majored in Geotechnical Engineering, I took many Structural and Environmental Engineering classes, covering a wide spectrum of topics.

Subsequently I joined the ETH in Zürich pursuing my PhD in Hydrological Modelling of Slope Stability. There, among other challenges, I had to develop strong software engineering and numerical modelling skills in order to tackle complex simulation scenarios.
