Themis Angelopoulos
@themisangelopoulos
AI engineer at Hermes Software building privacy-first LLM apps, including Socrates with message safety checks and encrypted local storage.
What I'm looking for
At Hermes Software, I built Socrates, a chat app featuring four AI-driven Greek philosophers that uses the user's own Claude or OpenAI key. I wrote its safety checks, designed encrypted local storage, and tested the protections with a scripted model server.
I also built Moly, a writing coach for browsers, desktop, and Android, and a Python platform for guiding software projects through Socratic questioning. At EON Labs, I researched trading strategies with quantitative data analysis and machine-learning meta-labeling; none passed the lab's validation standards.
