BUILDING THE AGENT OS FOR BUSINESS.

A second brain and mission control for companies — agents with full memory of your business, executing real work. Not a thesis: I ran an AI lab where my multi-agent systems processed 2,000+ real insurance claims in production.

NIGHT ENGINES.

The company I founded — an AI agency. We give a business its own second brain, then put private agents to work on it: agents with full memory of the company, running approved playbooks on your real tools while you keep the judgment. Built on the same stack I already run in production. The three pieces:

01

SECOND BRAIN

// the memory

Every decision, document, and learning a company produces — structured, versioned, and queryable by agents as a living, LLM-maintained wiki. The pattern I published on.

02

MISSION CONTROL

// the hands

A control plane where agents with full business context execute real work — not chat, operations. Runs on Hermes / OpenClaw / Claude Code with skills, crons and MCP tools.

03

THE TASTE LOOP

// the judgment

Agents run the plan asynchronously; my scarce input is evaluation, not typing. Out of the prompting loop, in charge of the call on what actually ships.

HELLAS DIRECT

The founders scouted me to build their AI lab.

After the IBM win, Hellas Direct's founders asked me to run AI at an insurer with 500k+ customers. Owned the whole loop — architecture, code, deployment, then product ownership.

MCP SERVER

The claims product exposed as a tool layer for any LLM. Their single biggest competitive advantage — made callable.

MCP / FASTAPI / PYTHON

CUSTOM OCR ENGINE

A classifier identifies the document, a fine-tuned extractor per type pulls structured data. Any document the business receives.

GCP DOCUMENT AI / FINE-TUNING

WHATSAPP RAG ASSISTANT

Customer-facing assistant on the channel Greeks actually use. Separate system, also in production.

AWS BEDROCK / LAMBDA / DYNAMODB

PYTHON / PYDANTIC AI / GPT-4O / GCP / KUBERNETES — ran in parallel with a full-time consulting role; both delivered.

MEDIVA-RX

From a basement to Columbia University.

Started as a hackathon hack, pushed as far as a student venture can go: national win, a filed patent, a real market pivot, a finalist seat at Columbia.

NATIONAL WINNER PATENT FILED COLUMBIA FINALIST 2026
  1. 2023
    THE BUILD — Smart pill dispenser with Face ID. TensorFlow and OpenCV on real hardware, built in a basement in a month for a hackathon deadline.
  2. 2023
    THE WIN — 1st place, PreSfhmmy national competition. The hack became a venture.
  3. 2024
    THE PATENT — Filed. Protected the core mechanism before talking to the market.
  4. 2024–25
    THE DISCOVERY — 70+ customer interviews (pharma, elder care). The consumer product everyone liked wasn't the business.
  5. 2025
    THE PIVOT — Consumer gadget → Type 2a medical device for decentralized clinical trials — running stages I and II at home. A market that pays.
  6. 2026
    COLUMBIA — Lab 2 Market finalist, NTUA × Columbia. Presented in New York, June 2026.

TENSORFLOW / OPENCV / REACT / DJANGO — the tech served the business, never the other way around.

3.3HACKATHON · 2024 · ML / LEAD

UNIAI × IBM

A weekend hack that became a job offer from founders.

The clearest version of how I operate: ship something real fast, then let the room escalate it.

1ST PLACE — IBM CHALLENGE IBM SUMMIT STAGE
  1. 48 HRS
    MAY 2024 — ML taxi allocation for Chicago O'Hare. A model predicting aircraft delays by type, airline, time, destination — driving dynamic taxi dispatch.
  2. THE WIN
    1st place. IBM's Chief AI Officer invited the team to present.
  3. THE STAGE
    IBM Greece & Cyprus quarterly summit — CEO Marios Maniatis handed me the mic in front of the whole company.
  4. THE JOB
    Scouted to run an AI lab. Hellas Direct's founders saw it; the demo was the pitch; the pitch became the job.

PYTHON / LOGISTIC REGRESSION / IBM CLOUD — won as a student, hired as an architect.

3.4RESEARCH · 2026 · AUTHOR

THE LIVING WIKI

I published the paper on the memory my agents run on.

“Schema-Driven LLM Knowledge Bases as Persistent Agent Memory.” An empirical study of the LLM-maintained wiki as agent memory: where RAG is stateless and re-derives knowledge every query, the wiki synthesizes once and compounds — and wins clearly on entity aggregation, the exact thing agents need to know people and projects. The theory the Second Brain above is built on.
