Progression, not a resume dump

From delivery foundations to architecture leadership and practical AI enablement.

This page compresses the full CV into the progression that matters most for the site: increasing scope, stronger architecture ownership, and a consistent thread of reusable design, delivery alignment, and team enablement across each stage.

Progress Signals

Five stages, one upward route, and a clear progression into architecture leadership.

Progression Route

The page reads as an ascent in scope, coordination depth, and architecture ownership rather than a conventional job list.

On desktop, the route pins and advances in readable stages. On smaller screens or reduced motion, the same sequence falls back to stacked progression cards without losing chronology.

Technical Foundations: Teaching, Writing & Early Engineering

Early Career

Developed the communication and problem-solving base behind later architecture work through teaching, editorial projects, and hands-on technical roles.

  • Taught programming, mathematics, and university lab sessions, building strong explanation and mentoring habits.
  • Worked on educational publishing and copyediting, sharpening structured thinking and content quality.
  • Contributed to early web development and infrastructure research, grounding later work in practical software and operations experience.

CRM Delivery & Integration

Accenture Greece

Built enterprise delivery foundations across telecom CRM operations, testing, analysis, and solution design.

  • Grew from production support and test coordination into integration analysis and CRM consulting roles.
  • Managed scope, milestones, dependencies, and reporting across parallel telecom change initiatives.
  • Turned business needs into implementation-ready solution paths and supported stable releases through structured test and defect governance.

Quality, Agile & Transition Lead

IRI

Progressed from senior QA consultant to QA lead, Scrum Master, and transition coordinator, strengthening release quality and operational continuity in distributed teams.

  • Owned QA strategy, test planning, defect management, and release-readiness practices for cross-functional delivery.
  • Helped teams work more predictably by facilitating Scrum ceremonies, unblocking delivery, and tightening stakeholder alignment.
  • Built knowledge bases, walkthroughs, and handover assets that reduced SME dependency during team transition.

Solution Architect

Vodafone

Stepped into architecture ownership during a handover and helped scale Vodafone's digital onboarding, digital sales, and early couponing capabilities.

  • Led architecture for remote prepaid onboarding, including eKYC, identity verification, and digital signature flows.
  • Co-delivered digital sales releases across onboarding, document upload, registration, and web journeys.
  • Initiated the early couponing architecture that later evolved into a broader reusable platform.
  • Supported multiple squads and kept delivery moving through a capacity gap and high-dependency rollout period.

Senior Solution Architect

Vodafone

Leads architecture for customer-facing telecom platforms spanning digital journeys, identity, APIs, chapter enablement, and practical AI adoption.

  • Evolved a unified coupon platform supporting OTT trials, campaigns, referral journeys, and lifecycle controls.
  • Designed secure referral and identity flows, including Security-by-Design alignment, token exchange, and authorization simplification.
  • Improved architecture governance through design reviews, trade-off guidance, and reusable standards across squads.
  • Mentored solution architects and built onboarding, knowledge-sharing, and GenAI enablement practices across the architecture chapter.

Closing Synthesis

The through-line is not a list of titles. It is increasing responsibility for clarity, continuity, and better system decisions.

The early stages build the delivery and communication base. The middle stages widen quality and coordination scope. The Vodafone years turn that foundation into architecture direction, reusable platform decisions, and practical AI enablement.

cue 1

Reusable Design

The thread across roles is a bias toward reusable foundations over one-off fixes, whether the medium is delivery process, platform design, or AI reference architecture.

cue 2

Delivery Alignment

Architecture value is tied back to delivery realities: unblocking squads, clarifying trade-offs, improving release confidence, and making teams easier to scale.

cue 3

Architecture Leadership

The progression culminates in broader ownership: architecture standards, mentoring, identity/API/platform direction, and practical AI enablement across teams.
