My Story
Born in Toronto, Canada and raised on the island of Crete, Greece, my life has been defined by my interaction with a multitude of contrasting cultures. I have always been a curious individual who always had the need to understand how everything works.
At the age of 22 I graduated from the Hellenic Mediterranean University as a Computer Engineer and after serving in the Greek Army, as a Paratrooper, I moved to Estonia to pursue my dreams.
In Tallinn, Estonia, after a multitude of casual jobs (carpenter, bartender, DJ, handyman) I landed a job as a logistics manager for Ericsson. This allowed me to pursue my desire for a master's degree in engineering.
​
In 2020, amidst the global pandemic, I graduated from the University of Technology in Tallinn (TalTech) in the field of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering with a GPA of 3.8.
​​
Armed with my 5-year experience working for a multinational company and my BSc and MSc, I decided to move to Germany to pursue my Engineering Dreams. Thankfully, in 2021, an internal position opened up, for a Mechanical Design Engineer and that is how I started living my engineering dream!
After years of working in an environment full of experienced engineers on the global stage, I decided to move to the US and join a company dedicated to helping people in need. As a Design Engineer in Pallet, I designed and implemented novel solutions for emergency shelters. In my time there, we managed to boost production and reduce cost. We built a multitude of homeless shelters around north America helping hundreds of people stand back on their feet.
​
Next step in my career came when I received an offer to join one of the greatest names in the heavy-duty truck industry, Kenworth Trucks. As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, I am once more working in the forefront of global engineering, and I am able to enhance my skillset while providing value to a company whose values align with mine.​​
