Message

At Absorb Software, I cut LLM training costs by more than 90% by replacing GPT-based labeling with fine-tuned RoBERTa models. I also built an end-to-end ML pipeline that reduced processing time from weeks to hours.

I built agentic AI agents that reduced manual course verification by 89%, and designed and shipped Aura MCP, which connects ChatGPT and Claude to authenticated learning management system data. I’ve also trained Llama models using distributed computing on AWS Trainium.

At the University of Nicosia, I developed deep learning models for turbulent flow forecasting and super-resolution. Across my work, I’ve contributed to production machine learning, NLP, and AI research, and authored 28 peer-reviewed publications.
