Learning design & education technology
Reaching the learners the map forgets.
Learning designer, technologist and
founder of Re:Invent Education.
I design and run technology-rich learning programmes for public-school students from underrepresented groups, and build the platforms behind them.
01 / About
My mission is equal educational opportunities for underrepresented groups.
I’m the Founder and Director of Re:Invent Education AMKE, a non-profit based in Thessaloniki, Greece, providing equal opportunities to students in remote areas and working on EU-funded education and innovation projects.
I hold a BSc in Computer Science from the American College of Thessaloniki (ACT), where I studied on a full scholarship. Previously, I worked as a cloud engineer at Deloitte. I work in Greek and English.
All Re:Invent learners attend public schools and come from underrepresented groups.
* Total budgets of the consortia Re:Invent participates in.

I manage Mensa Greece’s gifted-education programme in Thessaloniki — creating the curriculum and delivering the teaching myself.

View platformAn Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin project with a €1.5M consortium budget. I created the idea, wrote the proposal and manage the project, and I’m building its gamification system, animated lectures and aquaculture observatory for the Black Sea. The curriculum focuses on women, underrepresented groups and people with little or no formal education.
A platform I built to help organisations navigate and secure EU-funded projects.
