About Me

I am a Full-stack Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engineer with over two decades of professional experience across the US, UK, and Europe. I help businesses understand, adopt, and benefit from AI — even when they do not understand the technology themselves. My work spans AI system design, intelligent automation, and end-to-end implementation of practical AI solutions that create real business value.

Throughout my career I have served as an AI consultant, lead researcher, senior software engineer, and full-stack developer. My work spans a diverse set of domains including finance, banking, education, retail, agriculture, emergency response, and healthcare. I have managed large-scale R&D projects such as TRACER (simulation training for first responders) and CyCROP (AI-driven crop management system), both funded by the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF) of Cyprus.

I am not only an engineer but a strategic thinker in software architecture and digital transformation. I have worked with leading institutions such as the University of Bath, Oxford Brookes University, HF Markets (Hotforex), Ermes Group, Global IT Ltd, and ComEd in the USA. My experience covers every stage of the software development life cycle, and I hold certifications in Agile Project Management and Microsoft Application Development.

I hold a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction, with a focus on accessible software for users with learning disabilities. I am also a published thought leader through my blog on software engineering best practices: sfanou.blogspot.com.

Above all, I am driven by a passion for creating intelligent, maintainable, and efficient digital systems. My long-standing philosophy blends deep technical skill with a commitment to simplicity, usability, and clear communication.
