I am a Computer Science undergraduate at Rice University with a strong background in algorithms, competitive programming, and systems-level software development. I enjoy building high-performance, real-world systems and tackling hard algorithmic problems, from optimization engines to robotics and data-driven applications.

• Software Development
• Agentic AI Systems
• Algorithms & Data Structures
• Robotics & Embedded Systems
• Machine Learning

• Agentic Language Translator - (Claude Code Plugin) - (Two Sigma Internship Project)
  Developed an agentic translator to support an internal data-manipulation language migration during a 10-week Software Engineering Internship at Two Sigma. Built it as a Claude Code plugin using skills, hooks, MCPs, subagents, dynamic workflows, context management, and automated self-improvement feedback loops to improve the translation quality.

• Army Scheduling Project (ASP) – (Desktop Application)
  Developed a C++ scheduling optimization engine using optimized brute-force and simulated annealing with geometric cooling; exported as a DLL and integrated into a Unity-based desktop application with an interactive UI.

• Thalasat – (Website)
  Contributed to a Python-based backend for processing Copernicus satellite data (chlorophyll, sea surface temperature, salinity) to detect algal blooms and evaluate artificial reef effectiveness in the Mediterranean Sea.

• MaClock & Bounce-Run – (Published Apps)
  Developed, published and maintained a macOS utility app and mobile game, using Unity (C#). Reached 2,500+ total downloads across the App Store and Google Play.

• GPT-7 – (Olympiad in Informatics Problem-Setting)
  Designed, GPT-7, a competitive programming problem for the Cyprus Olympiad in Informatics (COI) 2026 Round A.

• FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) – (Robotics)
  Team lead and chief software/hardware engineer; Java-based control software for mecanum-wheel movement, tele-op control, and autonomous routines, tightly integrated with hardware systems.

• Robotex Maze Solver – (Robotics)
  Developed an optimized maze-solving flood-fill based algorithm, in C, for autonomous maze solving for the Cyprus Robotex Competition.

• 🏅 IOI Honorable Mention, International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI 2024)
• 🥉 3rd place nationally, Cyprus Olympiad in Informatics (COI 2023, 2024)
• 🤖 1st place nationally, FIRST Tech Challenge Cyprus (2022) Robotics Competition
• 🌍 Represented Cyprus in IOI 2023, IOI 2024, BOI 2023, BOI 2024, and FTC World Championship 2022
• 🛰️ 1st prize, VeneToStars Challenge (European Space Technologies Competition) 2025
