Machine Learning Engineer
My name is Christina, I am a Machine Learning Engineer based in Greece with a strong academic background in Data Science, Machine Learning, and Electrical & Computer Engineering. I studied at the National Technical University of Athens and the Technical University of Crete. Currently, I work at Athens Technology Center, where I design and deploy AI systems using Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI. My work focuses on solving real-world problems across sectors like fintech, media, and public services.
Meet the professional
As a Machine Learning Engineer, I develop intelligent systems that can learn from data and make predictions or decisions. My work is deeply rooted in STEM, combining computer science, mathematics, and data analysis. I use tools such as Python, PyTorch, Spark, and Hadoop to build and deploy scalable AI models that support decision-making in sectors like finance, telecommunications, and public services.
My curiosity about how machines can mimic human intelligence and solve complex problems led me to this field. Participating in competitions like the Google Hash Code and European BEST Engineering Competition further fueled my interest in real-world data challenges and innovative solutions.
