whoami
I am a computational luthier, creative technologies specialist, and doctoral researcher. I was born and raised in Northern Greece and I am (currently) based in the UK. My work sits at the intersection of computational theory & philosophy, music, art, and Embodied Human-Computer Interaction (EHCI); I make computers, both digital & analog, go "bleep bloop" using mathematical equations.
Currently, I am pursuing a PhD at the University of Sussex, with a focus on the theory, design, and execution of Live Coding instruments and practices (2021-ongoing, part time). I also hold a BSc in Music Computing (First Class Hons) from University of London, Goldsmiths College (2018).
research
My doctoral research is conducted at the EMUTE (Experimental Music Technologies) Lab and the Sussex Digital Humanities Lab.
WIP Thesis title: "TimeLines: Tensions in Ergonomics, Ergodynamics, and Ergologics of Embodied Live Coding Instruments and Practices"
My research and designs have been released into the world in the form of the uSEQ project, a fully open-source Eurorack module(/ecosystem) which runs its own custom programming language for live coding music control signals. The language, called ModuLisp, is an homage to the legendary Lisp programming language from which it's inspired and upon which it's based (big shoutout to Rich Hickey and the Clojure programming language and its community, who took a great language and made it even better!).

industry
I have 4 years of industrial experience as a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) R&D engineer, working in programming languages like C, C++, Python, and Matlab. During that time I worked on dynamic and real-time audio engines, trained neural networks for Music Information Retrieval (MIR) tasks, and designed & built interactive compositional augmentation systems—AI systems of the non-generative variety systems that help musicians deliver their music in high-level interactive, malleable artifacts.
I am a co-founder of Emute Lab Instruments, a company spinning out of our research at Emute Lab, diffusing our theoretical and practice-led research into experimental music technologies and interfaces.
As a freelance educator and creative technologist, I also collaborate with artists to teach and develop computational tools and methodologies for a wide range of audiovisual practices. Some of my work can be seen in the Dream Club Lab project by Ian Winters and Elaine Buckholtz in the form of dancing robots, while more is cooking in the form of the Domestic Light upcoming installation in January of 2026.
community_&_culture
I am a founding member of the lnfiniteMonkeys, an international and multidisciplinary open collective of mischievous primates that casually and/or furiously press, twist, patch, push, pull, or otherwise misbehave in cyberspace—or just good ol' fashioned regular space.
This whole domain is their domain.
Our domain.
We're all lnfiniteMonkeys, after all...
music_&_performance
I play piano, guitar, and bass, but my primary sonic playground involves synthesizers and live coding. I explore computational composition and performance, as inspired by my childhood training in classical piano and theory.
Some (old) live coding performances of mine can be found over at the lnfiniteMonkeys YouTube channel.
