Panayiotis Poularakis

I’ve spent two decades in software engineering, and the most important thing I’ve learned is that a healthy, high-trust team is the foundation of a great system. My career has evolved from a focus on the code to building the environments where engineers can do their best work. I enjoy the challenge of the 0-to-1 phase just as much as the steady rigor of enterprise scaling. My goal is to balance technical velocity with the security and stability a growing business needs, without losing the human element. Where I contribute: Technical Guidance: Supporting architecture, platform engineering, and cloud automation. Security & Compliance: Integrating Zero-Trust and ISO 27001 standards into the daily workflow as a core feature, not a bottleneck. Team Growth: Mentorship, fostering collaborative effort, and building engineering cultures based on transparency. Technical Core: Staying grounded in Java, Spring Boot, Python, and Infrastructure as Code. Software is a team sport. I’ve found that when you prioritize clear communication and psychological safety, technical excellence follows naturally.
