About

I am a Principal Researcher at Microsoft, working on AI systems. With 10+ years of experience in both industry and academia, I have successfully navigated career transitions, built strong networks, and thrived in both corporate and academic environments.

I have mentored dozens of researchers, engineers, and professionals at different career stages—helping them break into big tech, transition between academia and industry (and vice versa), refine their technical focus, and develop long-term career strategies. Many of my mentees have secured roles at top tech companies, advanced in their careers, or successfully pivoted to new opportunities.

Throughout my career, I have defied expectations and broken barriers. Whether it was earning a Ph.D., securing a faculty position, transitioning into big tech, or advancing within it, I encountered skepticism from others. But instead of accepting limitations, I made it happen through strategic planning, resilience, and continuous learning. Now, I want to help others do the same!

If your goal is to break into big tech, transition between academia and industry, or advance in your career, I offer strategic guidance, actionable advice, and mentorship tailored to your goals. Let’s connect and build a roadmap to success!

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

I still remember the day I sent a message to Dr. Spyros asking for his mentorship on how to do research the right way. He listened carefully to my situation and put together a solid plan to help me reach my goals. He has a way of breaking down big problems into smaller, manageable parts, and he gives you the space to tackle them on your own. In the end, he's really helping you build the skills you need to handle things yourself. He kept me focused and stopped me from getting sidetracked by other stuff. To me, he's not just a great teacher and mentor, but also like a friend who guides you through the real issues you're dealing with.
