EXPERIENCE

    Founder & Lead Engineer

    LayGrounded

    AI laytime & demurrage claims engine for dry bulk chartering

    • Shipped a vision-language document pipeline that extracts port events from PDF Statements of Facts as editable, source-traceable suggestions, with schema-validated output and automatic model fallback for resilience.
    • Implemented a deterministic, dependency-pure rules engine covering GENCON 94 and ASBATANKVOY charter terms — notice validity, timezone-aware exclusion periods, weather and shifting exceptions, demurrage triggers — published as a standalone open-source package and reproducible under counterparty scrutiny.
    • Architected the full multi-tenant stack solo (RLS-enforced tenancy, Dockerised production build), adding clause flagging by severity, time-bar tracking, sensitivity analysis, and LLM-drafted claim correspondence with source citations.
    • Extending into independent verification of claimed facts — weather archive cross-checks, AIS vessel movement, and sanctions screening — so each line of a claim is backed by third-party evidence rather than the counterparty’s own SOF.

ONE CLAIM, END TO END

The system I am building, from the scanned document that starts a dispute to the letter that settles it.

Step 01 — Intake

A scanned Statement of Facts arrives

The port agent sends a PDF — often a photocopy of a fax. Every hour of laytime in the eventual claim traces back to this one document.

TECH STACK

Fourth-year Computer Science student at the University of Piraeus (GPA 8.0/10 · 185 ECTS · 37 of 37 courses passed) working in software engineering and applied AI — backend services, data pipelines and the machine-learning and LLM systems that sit on them. My current project is an AI laytime and demurrage engine for dry bulk chartering, which has also given me working command of charter party terms, Statements of Facts and voyage operations.

SELECTED WORK

01

NEXUS

Real Estate Matching Platform

  • Engineered a scoring engine ranking properties 0–100 across budget, location, size and lifestyle criteria, served through role-based REST APIs (BUYER/OWNER/ADMIN) over a purpose-designed 10+ table schema.
  • Built a rule-based NLP query parser and Leaflet.js heatmap, reducing free-text searches to structured filters with no external ML dependency.
  • #Java
  • #Spring Boot
  • #PostgreSQL
  • #JWT

03

Financial Transaction Risk Classifier

Applied ML Pipeline

  • Built a leak-proof classification pipeline (feature engineering, scaling, one-hot encoding, log transforms).
  • Structured it as a modular four-layer architecture that allows classifiers to be swapped without touching business logic.
  • #Python
  • #Scikit-learn

04

CYBERBUS

Smart Transit PWA

  • Developed a progressive web app with separate passenger and driver interfaces.
  • Integrated Gemini Vision for real-time landmark recognition and a conversational guide, with no dedicated ML backend.
