About me

I’m Nikos Afordakos, an Electrical & Computer Engineer focused on building robust, well-structured systems. I’m interested in how technology translates into real impact — from software and automation to AI-enabled products and operational systems.

I value clear thinking, solid engineering foundations, and solutions that stand up in the real world, not just on paper.

I’m particularly driven by understanding complex systems, spotting patterns early, and turning ambiguity into clear, functional design.

Selected Experience & Work

Systems & Engineering Experience

Worked across complex software delivery environments, contributing to both technical systems and the coordination required to keep them reliable and scalable.

Gained hands-on experience in structuring delivery flows, improving visibility, and supporting teams within multi-project, real-world constraints — while maintaining strong engineering foundations.

This experience shaped a systems-oriented way of thinking, connecting technology, people, and process without losing technical depth.

Data Engineering & Regulatory Systems

Designed and delivered data pipelines and regulatory reporting systems for large financial institutions, operating at the intersection of engineering, analytics, and compliance.

Worked on end-to-end solutions supporting risk management and regulatory frameworks (IFRS9, EBA), ensuring data reliability, automation, and audit-ready reporting within high-stakes environments.

Security & Operational Discipline

Early professional experience in security and operational roles, developing strong discipline, responsibility, and decision-making under pressure — qualities that continue to shape my engineering and leadership approach.
