I am the CTO of Babylon Labs, where we are building the Trustless Bitcoin Vaults protocol, enabling Bitcoin holders to trustlessly use their BTC as collateral on DeFi applications, launching this year with an Aave v4 integration. I joined as a founding engineer and have led the technical team through every stage of the project's growth.

Before Babylon, I was a researcher at the Athens University of Economics and Business, where I focused on static program analysis. My work there produced PyCG, a widely adopted call graph generator for Python (paper), as well as published research on Git repository analysis and JavaScript code evolution. Earlier, I worked as a software and infrastructure engineer at GRNET. I studied electrical and computer engineering at the National Technical University of Athens.

After a few years as a digital nomad living and working in different cities around the world, I'm now back home in Athens, Greece. Outside of work, I enjoy running, the mountains, and the occasional sauna and cold plunge.
