Product designer and design engineer in Athens. I design software for dense, fast-moving data, and I build the systems that design it.
My work lives where the data is densest.
Infrastructure monitoring at Netdata. Telecom network analytics at Niometrics. Products where thousands of metrics arrive every second and someone has to find, quickly, the few that matter.
I turn that noise into structure people can act on.
Then I make the structure repeatable. Kyma is my design system and an AI workflow on top of it that takes a feature request through research, design and a coded prototype. This page is built with it.
A design system I built from zero, kept in sync between Figma and code, with an AI workflow that turns a request into synthetic research, design decisions and a tested prototype.
Real-time monitoring for developers and SREs. I worked across the whole product: a new design system, a redesign of the entire UI, and the features where people build their own views of their systems and where the product tells them something is wrong.
Niometrics built deep network analytics for telecom operators, processing live traffic from hundreds of millions of subscribers. I led the design team behind its operator products, the tools network teams used to trace, watch and respond to what was happening on their networks.
I like products that have to be right under pressure, and I like making the tools that keep them consistent.
I studied applied mathematics at the University of Crete and started out as a front-end developer, and I've never stopped writing code. Since 2015 I've designed data-heavy B2B software: six years leading design for telecom network analytics at Niometrics, where I also owned the product's CSS codebase, then nearly five as a senior product designer at Netdata, building monitoring for engineers running production systems. Now I take it further: I build my own design system, write the code behind it, and use AI to automate the parts of the process that don't need my judgement, so more of my time goes to the parts that do.
Away from the screen I train for marathons, where progress also comes from measuring, adjusting and repeating.
