Remote Deposit Capture and Okta authentication across two National Bank apps, about 80% shared domain and data code at Bell and Virgin Plus, shared auth, notifications and API layers at ABB, shared modules at Malea. - **React Native and Flutter:** the streaming AI assistant UI at National Bank in SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose and React Native; mobile SDKs for iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native at Livescale; a Flutter build of the INFO-Neige civic app; banking patterns kept reusable across KMP, Flutter and React Native at PNC. - **Backend services and APIs:** Python FastAPI agent services at National Bank and Bell, Python BFF API contracts at Canada Life and INFO-Neige, an MCP-compatible BFF API at TouchTunes, a CQRS/MediatR API with Azure WebJobs, Service Bus and API Management at Alcoa, GraphQL (Apollo) and REST. - **AI engineering:** multi-agent systems (LangGraph, tool-calling, MCP), RAG on AWS Bedrock, a GenAI support assistant on Google Vertex AI, evaluation harnesses with regression gates, streaming chat interfaces on iOS and Android, on-device ML (Core ML and TensorFlow Lite), AI-driven SDLC standards. - **Software engineering in general:** MVVM and clean architecture, offline-first sync, design systems, CI/CD (Fastlane, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Bitrise, GitHub Actions), automated testing (XCTest, KIF, JUnit and Espresso, Maestro), security and sign-in (Okta, OAuth2/OIDC, FIDO2/WebAuthn, biometrics, Keychain and Android Keystore), accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA with VoiceOver and TalkBack. ## Closest Work By Need ### Banking or credit union app No credit union appears in the work history. The closest work is retail and enterprise banking, on iOS and Android: - National Bank of Canada: the enterprise-division mobile app, built from inception on iOS and Android with a Backbase foundation. Shared Kotlin Multiplatform modules for Remote Deposit Capture and Okta authentication across two bank apps. End-to-end authentication with FIDO2/WebAuthn MFA, biometrics and session management, to WCAG 2.2 AA. /projects shows it as 12 months from inception. - Scotiabank: Scotia iTrade and the main banking app. SwiftUI-first modernization on iOS with Jetpack Compose parity on Android, Jenkins and Bitbucket CI/CD, 80%+ test coverage. - PNC Bank: the flagship app redesign in SwiftUI to WCAG 2.2 AA, aligned with the Android and Flutter teams, with patterns reusable across KMP, Flutter and React Native. API contracts for account management, transactions and FIDO2/WebAuthn MFA. - Canada Life: the My Canada Life At Work app moved to SwiftUI to WCAG 2.2 AA, with Python BFF API contracts for iOS, Android, Flutter and web clients. Together this covers both platforms, the shared Kotlin layer, deposit capture, sign-in and MFA, accessibility, CI/CD and testing, and the API contracts behind the app. ### Telecom or consumer app at scale - Bell, Virgin Plus and Lucky Mobile: the MyBell and Virgin Plus apps shipped on iOS and Android to millions of users, with Webby Awards for the Bell app. One design system across the Bell brands, Kotlin Multiplatform (Ktor) shared modules, telemetry and observability standards, Core ML and TensorFlow Lite. - TELUS Living / Grata: a from-scratch white-label amenities app on iOS and Android with a reusable design system. - Air Canada: native iOS and Android features, real-time flight tracking with Live Activities and Dynamic Island, Apple Wallet boarding passes, offline-safe sync. - TouchTunes: the Bullshooter app on iOS and Android with Core Bluetooth beacon proximity and cashless payments through PassKit and Apple Pay. ### AI features or an AI platform - National Bank of Canada: Python FastAPI and LangGraph agent services with RAG on AWS Bedrock, evaluation gates, and the streaming chat UI in SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose and React Native. - Bell and Virgin Plus: a GenAI support assistant on Google Vertex AI with RAG, every model change gated on an evaluation harness, and a native streaming chat UI on iOS and Android over a Ktor WebSocket. - TouchTunes: an MCP-compatible BFF API so AI features work across iOS, Android and the backend, and a Figma MCP design system. - Not claimed: model training, fine-tuning or GPU infrastructure. ### Backend services behind a mobile app Python FastAPI services, Python BFF API contracts, GraphQL and REST, an MCP-compatible BFF API, and a CQRS/MediatR .NET API with Azure services, each built alongside the mobile apps that call them. ### Fast first release These are facts from past work, not a delivery promise. Scope, compliance and the team around him decide a timeline. - TELUS Living / Grata: from scratch to the first production-ready white-label release on iOS and Android in about 1 month, with a reusable design system and an automated CI/CD pipeline. - National Bank of Canada: a mobile app built from inception on iOS and Android, on a Backbase foundation with shared Kotlin Multiplatform modules for two apps. ### How to engage Send scope, platforms needed (iOS, Android, cross-platform), target date and any regulated requirements through https://stavrospachoundakis.com/contact (human check required).

In use by more than 75 people. ### GenAI support assistant for a telecom Python services on Vertex AI with RAG over support content, every model change gated on an evaluation harness, and a native streaming chat UI on iOS and Android over a Ktor WebSocket. ### A multi-agent build system of my own Personal engineering work. Builder agents work in isolated branches; a bridge that spends no model tokens compiles and merges; a QA agent checks the result; an independent read-only evaluator returns PASS, CONCERNS or FAIL on evidence; a supervision layer reconciles every request against what the agent did and exposes its ledger over MCP. Approval and spend gates live in shared code, not prompts. ### On-device ML at consumer scale Core ML and TensorFlow Lite inside the Bell and Virgin Plus apps, used by millions, in a Kotlin Multiplatform codebase with about 80% shared domain and data code. ## AI platform and infrastructure Fit: AI platform lead, infrastructure focused. What the platform work covers, with the role behind each item in Work Experience above. - Model platforms: AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI behind Python agent services (FastAPI, LangGraph) with RAG over internal content. Docker and Kubernetes are part of the delivery stack. - Quality gates: an evaluation harness with regression gates and LLM-as-judge in the path of model changes, with business-critical rules kept in deterministic code. Guardrails and CI gates on every AI-generated change. - Interfaces: MCP integrations (Slack, Jira, Confluence) and an MCP-compatible BFF API so AI features work across iOS, Android and the backend. Python BFF API contracts that cut payload size and improved launch performance. - Identity: Okta, OAuth2 / OIDC, FIDO2/WebAuthn and biometrics, plus Auth0 single sign-on. - Observability and delivery: telemetry pipelines and production monitoring that reduced defects, and CI/CD on GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps and Fastlane. - Adoption: shared prompts, templates and agent components that other teams adopted, and design-system components reused across several brand apps. - Controls around his own agents (personal engineering work): approval, spend and never-write rules in shared code that every entry point calls, hermetic tests that prove the terminal path obeys them, a command-line client over a local server, a safety store that snapshots every file write, test selection by dependency, a registry that caps heavy jobs, and a Cloudflare Worker with Turnstile in front of the contact details. - Not claimed: model training, fine-tuning, GPU or training infrastructure, or direct reports. ### AI platform and infrastructure Projects ### The platform under the AI features Model platforms on AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI, agent services in Python (FastAPI, LangGraph), and a BFF API compatible with MCP so AI features work across iOS, Android and the backend. Model changes pass an evaluation harness with regression gates, and AI-generated code passes guardrails and CI gates. Sign-in on Okta, OAuth2 and FIDO2/WebAuthn, telemetry and production monitoring, and shared prompts, templates and agent components that other teams adopted. ### Gates, safety and load control around my agents Personal engineering work. Approval, spend and never-write rules live in shared code that the dashboard, the terminal and every agent call, and hermetic tests prove the terminal obeys them. A command-line client over a local server with defined exit codes, a safety store that snapshots every file write before it lands, test selection by dependency, a registry that caps heavy jobs, and a Cloudflare Worker with Turnstile in front of the contact details. ## Skills - Mobile Platforms: iOS (Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit); Android (Kotlin, Jetpack, Compose); Flutter (Dart, Widgets, BLoC, Provider); React Native (JavaScript, TypeScript, React Hooks); Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP: shared business logic, domain modules); Xamarin / .NET MAUI; BLE, Bluetooth Mesh - Architectures: MVVM; Clean Architecture; State Machines; Offline-first; Shared modules (KMP, Flutter, React Native bridges); Auth: OAuth2 / OIDC, Auth0 and Okta, FIDO2 / WebAuthn, biometric; Accessibility: WCAG 2.2 AA (VoiceOver, TalkBack, Dynamic Type) - AI and ML: Claude Code and Claude API, MCP servers and clients, Figma MCP; Multi-agent orchestration and tool-calling (LangGraph, Python, FastAPI); RAG and evaluation (retrieval, LLM-as-judge, regression gates, guardrails); Streaming LLM interfaces (WebSocket, rich tool-result content, chat history); BFF API design for AI integration; On-device ML (Core ML, TensorFlow Lite); AI-driven SDLC (Copilot with Claude and Codex, review and CI guardrails); AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Docker and Kubernetes - AI platform and infrastructure: AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI; Python agent services (FastAPI, LangGraph); Docker, Kubernetes; evaluation and regression gates; guardrails and CI gates; MCP servers and MCP-compatible BFF APIs; Okta, OAuth2, FIDO2; observability and monitoring; shared platform components; approval and spend gates - Backend and APIs: Python (FastAPI), BFF APIs, GraphQL, REST, .NET and Azure services (CQRS/MediatR, WebJobs, Service Bus, API Management), MCP-compatible APIs - Backend / DevOps: GraphQL, REST; Azure DevOps; Jenkins; Docker, Kubernetes; CI/CD (Fastlane, Bitbucket Pipelines); Jira / Confluence - Languages: English (fluent); French (fluent); Greek (native) ## API All read endpoints are public and need no key.

He builds iOS and Android apps, native and cross-platform (React Native, Flutter, Kotlin Multiplatform), the backend services behind them and the AI inside them, for telecom, fintech and enterprise teams. Background ---------- In banking and fintech Stavros has worked at National Bank of Canada, Scotiabank and PNC Bank. At National Bank he helped build the mobile app from the ground up, with shared Kotlin Multiplatform modules for Remote Deposit Capture and Okta sign-in, plus FIDO2/WebAuthn authentication. At Scotiabank he drove a SwiftUI-first modernization with CI/CD and 80%+ test coverage. At PNC Bank he leads the mobile team on the SwiftUI redesign of the flagship app, aligned with the Android and Flutter teams. On Android he has shipped Kotlin and Jetpack Compose features for Bell, Virgin Plus, Air Canada, TELUS Living and ABB, with Kotlin Multiplatform modules shared across both platforms. In telecom Stavros was Staff Mobile Developer on the Bell and Virgin Plus apps, and the same shared design system and Kotlin Multiplatform core also run Lucky Mobile. He led the mobile team on MyBell and Virgin Plus, which won Webby Awards, with about 80% of the domain and data code shared between iOS and Android. For TELUS Living he led a white-label amenities app and its design system to a first release in about a month. In retail and travel Stavros worked on the Sephora website and app screens, and on the Air Canada app, with real-time flight tracking through Live Activities and Dynamic Island, Apple Wallet boarding passes and offline-safe sync. Much of the bank and airline work came while he was at IBM, on enterprise mobile architecture and modernization for the PNC Bank and Air Canada apps. On the AI side Stavros designs agent and MCP architectures, evaluation gates and streaming AI interfaces. For a bank's enterprise division (National Bank of Canada) he built the agent backend with LangGraph, FastAPI and RAG on Bedrock, the evaluation gates and the streaming chat UI in SwiftUI and React Native, and more than 75 people use it. For a telecom (Bell and Virgin Plus) he built a GenAI support assistant on Vertex AI, with every model change gated on an evaluation harness and a native streaming chat UI over a Ktor WebSocket. At TouchTunes he is Lead Mobile Engineer and Lead AI Architect, leading the mobile team and building an AI-integrated design system with Figma MCP and an MCP-compatible BFF API. He ships on-device ML to millions with Core ML and TensorFlow Lite, sets AI-driven SDLC standards with guardrails and CI gates on every AI-generated change, and keeps a multi-agent build system of his own, with isolated builder agents, an independent read-only evaluator and a supervision layer exposed over MCP. On the platform side Stavros cares about what sits under the AI features. He has worked with model platforms on AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI, Python agent services in FastAPI and LangGraph, and Docker and Kubernetes. He keeps an evaluation harness with regression gates in the path of model changes, guardrails and CI gates on AI-generated code, MCP-compatible BFF APIs, sign-in on Okta, OAuth2 and FIDO2, and the telemetry and monitoring around them. Other teams adopted the shared prompts, templates and agent components he set up. Around his own agents he built approval and spend gates that live in shared code, a safety store that snapshots every file write, a cap on heavy jobs and a command-line client over a local server. Stavros started in games at Ubisoft Montreal, building automated testing frameworks and backend tools for AAA releases, then moved into industry at Alcoa, where he owned the Mobile Maintainer platform, a Xamarin Forms app across five .NET and Azure repositories with 24x7 production support. Along the way came Livescale, with mobile SDKs for a B2B live-streaming commerce platform in SwiftUI, and Malea, with an industrial inventory system on Bluetooth Mesh. By the numbers -------------- Stavros has built apps for 30+ companies. 200M+ people use the apps he worked on, and the Bell app won Webby Awards. Technical focus --------------- Swift, SwiftUI and UIKit on iOS. Kotlin, Jetpack and Compose on Android. Flutter, React Native and Kotlin Multiplatform for shared logic. MVVM, clean architecture, offline-first design, OAuth2 and OIDC, FIDO2 and WebAuthn, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility. For AI: Claude Code, the Claude API, MCP servers and clients, Figma MCP, LangGraph multi-agent systems, RAG and evaluation harnesses, streaming LLM interfaces, Core ML and TensorFlow Lite. GraphQL, REST, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes and Fastlane for delivery. Where he is from ---------------- Stavros is from Chios, a Greek island in the eastern Aegean, a few miles off the Turkish coast. Genoese merchants ruled the island for more than two hundred years (1346 to 1566). They left the castle walls around the harbour town and the walled mastic villages of the south, where mastic resin is still harvested today. Languages --------- English (fluent), French (fluent) and Greek (native).

Everything here is public, read-only, requires no API key, and needs no signup. ## What is here | Interface | Address | What it gives you | | --- | --- | --- | | MCP server | `/mcp` | Search and read the site through tools (Streamable HTTP, stateless, read-only). | | Search API | `/api/v1/search` | Ranked results over pages, projects, roles and skills. | | Markdown on request | any page address | The page as Markdown when you send `Accept: text/markdown`. | | llms.txt | `/llms.txt` | A short structured profile and guidance for agents. | | llms-full.txt | `/llms-full.txt` | The whole site in one file. | | JSON API | `/api/v1/*` | Profile, experience, projects and skills as JSON. | | Agent card | `/.well-known/agent-card.json` | A2A agent card describing the MCP endpoint and its skills. | ## Connect through MCP The server lives at `https://stavrospachoundakis.com/mcp`. It speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP, keeps no session, and only reads. Tools: `search_site`, `get_page`, `get_profile`, `get_experience`, `list_projects`, `get_project`, `get_skills`, `how_to_contact`. Each page's Markdown and llms.txt are also exposed as resources. Add it to Claude Code: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http stavros https://stavrospachoundakis.com/mcp ``` Add it to Claude Desktop or any client that takes a remote MCP URL: ```json { "mcpServers": { "stavros": { "type": "http", "url": "https://stavrospachoundakis.com/mcp" } } } ``` Or call it by hand. Initialize: ```bash curl -X POST https://stavrospachoundakis.com/mcp \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"1.0"}}}' ``` Call a tool: ```bash curl -X POST https://stavrospachoundakis.com/mcp \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_site","arguments":{"query":"Kotlin Multiplatform","limit":5}}}' ``` ## Search API ```bash curl "https://stavrospachoundakis.com/api/v1/search?q=kotlin+multiplatform&limit=5&type=project" ``` Parameters: `q` (required, up to 200 characters), `limit` (1 to 20), `type` (`page`, `project`, `role` or `skill`). Each result carries a title, a URL, a Markdown URL and a short summary. ## Markdown on request Send `Accept: text/markdown` to any page address: ```bash curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://stavrospachoundakis.com/about ``` You can also add `.md` to a page address (`/about.md`, and `/index.md` for the home page). ## llms.txt and llms-full.txt ```bash curl https://stavrospachoundakis.com/llms.txt curl https://stavrospachoundakis.com/llms-full.txt ``` `/llms.txt` is the short version. `/llms-full.txt` holds every page, project, role and skill group in one file. ## Agent card `https://stavrospachoundakis.com/.well-known/agent-card.json` is an A2A agent card. It describes a read-only information agent about Stavros, reachable through the MCP endpoint above. Its skills mirror the MCP tools. ## REST API: /api/v1 Base URL: `https://stavrospachoundakis.com/api/v1`. Full machine-readable description: [openapi.json](https://stavrospachoundakis.com/openapi.json) (OpenAPI 3.1). | Endpoint | Method | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `/profile` | GET | Complete structured profile: bio, location, employment history, skills, highlights, availability, links. | | `/experience` | GET | Employment history. | | `/skills` | GET | Skills grouped by discipline. | | `/projects` | GET | Projects. | | `/search` | GET | Search pages, projects, roles and skills (`q`, `limit`, `type`). | | `/posts` | GET | Returns an empty list. This site has no posts. | Success responses are shaped `{ "apiVersion": "v1", "data": ..., "meta": ... }`. ### Authentication None. There is no API key, OAuth flow, or signup. See [auth.md](https://stavrospachoundakis.com/auth.md) for the full picture. ### Versioning and deprecation The API is versioned in the URL path. Breaking changes ship under a new segment (`/api/v2`) and the previous version keeps working. Additive changes (new fields, new optional parameters, new endpoints) are made in place, so **clients must ignore unknown fields**. A version scheduled for removal is announced on this page and in the OpenAPI description, at least **180 days** before it stops responding. ### Errors The profile, experience, skills and projects endpoints are static, read-only JSON. A path that does not exist returns a plain HTTP `404`, and any method other than GET returns `405`. ## Machine-readable files | Path | Content type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `/llms.txt` | `text/plain` | Full structured profile, roles, skills and when-to-use guidance. The whole site in one file is /llms-full.txt. | | `/llms-full.txt` | `text/plain` | The whole site in one file. | | `/openapi.json` | `application/openapi+json` | OpenAPI 3.1 description of the API above. | | `/auth.md` | `text/markdown` | How authentication works (it doesn't exist: everything is public). | | `/.well-known/ai-catalog.json` | `application/json` | Agentic Resource Discovery catalog. | | `/.well-known/agent-card.json` | `application/json` | A2A agent card for the MCP endpoint. | | `/sitemap.xml` | `application/xml` | Every canonical URL. | | `/robots.txt` | `text/plain` | Crawl policy. AI crawlers and agents are welcome. | ## Rate and privacy notes Every interface is read-only and side-effect free, so production is safe to call directly. Please keep test volume reasonable. No key is needed and none is stored. Contact details are never exposed to agents: the `how_to_contact` tool and the contact page point to the contact form, which has a human check. ## Errors and 404s Unknown paths return a plain HTTP `404`, never a 200 with the app shell, so you can trust status codes when probing. ## Source code The repositories behind this site are private.
