What I take on
Three kinds of work, one pattern: the problem is already someone else’s failed attempt.
Systems nobody has managed to make work. A programme that stalled, an integration that half-landed, a fleet of devices that stopped reporting. I start from what is actually happening in the field, not from the plan that says it should be fine.
Capability a business needs but can’t buy. When the tool doesn’t exist, I build it — software, hardware, or the process around both. A custom PCB and a 3D-printed enclosure is as valid an answer as a .NET application, and I’ve shipped both inside the same programme.
AI that has to survive contact with an operation. Not a pilot, not a demo. Agentic systems with memory, guardrails and an owner, wired into the workflow that already exists.
Recent evidence
Smart meter reconnection programme — Enaon EDA / Italgas, via MeterTech Solutions.
I ran the department that restored communication to 15,000+ smart gas meters across mainland Greece. The regulatory deadline was 2029. We reached operational readiness in two months and closed the programme in March 2026.
Getting there took more than management:
- 56 custom chargers, reverse-engineered and 3D-printed, cutting meter charge time from 5 minutes to 20 seconds
- Two C#/.NET 8 applications built in-house — a data injector and a field audit tool, with AES encryption — to stop the APN/IP typos that were silently corrupting field data
- Python and Google Apps Script pipelines for automated daily transfers to the EDA server
- €38,788 in documented procurement savings, largely by repurposing hardware everyone else had written off
What I’m building
Eight products in development. They’re not consulting deliverables — they’re the direction the consulting work pointed at.
GeoDrillDraw — borehole logs and well-casing diagrams in the browser, for the wellhead rather than the office.
Virtual Food Studio — a restaurant’s menu in, professional dish photography out.
Replay the Past — point your phone at an old printed photograph, get it back as if it were taken today.
The Caretaker — a companion and safety service for people living semi-independently, built around a daily check-in and a real escalation path.
Οδηγός Κληρονομικής Διαδοχής — a shared tracker that walks a Greek family through the fifteen steps of an inheritance, together.
Google Takeout → Markdown — turns a Google export into clean Markdown, entirely on your own machine.
Cortex II — knowledge management on a “capture once, organise never” principle.
Estate Analyzer — turns the digital footprint someone leaves behind into something their family can actually use.
