Software engineer · Zurich
An honest second opinion on your software project, and on where AI fits in it.
I'm Georgios, a software engineer in Zurich. I have built and run software for more than 20 years, since 2017 mostly for banks, and lately with AI at the centre of it.
Executives call me when a project is late, unclear, or about to bet on AI, and they want to know where it really stands.
How I work
I start at the top.
You tell me what you asked for and what worries you about it.
Then I listen to the engineers.
One by one, in private. They usually know what is wrong, and they talk to me because I have sat in their chair.
Then I say what I found.
Plainly, to you and to them. With the person in charge of the project I agree a plan the team can keep, and I stay on as a sparring partner for as long as that is useful.
What to expect
Honesty
I tell you about a problem as soon as I see it, and I bring a proposal for the compromise. Sometimes it sounds critical. It is meant for the benefit of the team.
No dogma
I have no favourite framework and no method to sell. I have my preferences, and I have learned to get over them when another solution suits the team better.
Hands on the keyboard
I still write code every week, so when I say something can be done I can show it.
A clear view on AI
I use AI coding tools every day and I have built a product on top of language models. I tell you where AI saves your team time and where it does not.
Background
More than 20 years of building software in Athens and Zurich. I was a Director at Julius Baer, built and led the order-management platform team at UBP, and since 2026 I run Script4Me, a product built on language models.
