I am deeply motivated to transform the food system from the ground up in order to restore our soils and biodiversity.

Growing this venture and its platform and uniting the stakeholders along the value chain will benefit from my experience in marketing, strategy, and traceability in FMCG sector.

As a serial tech entrepreneur and hobby farmer, I am driven to empower farmers and agronomists by leveraging technology as a force for good.

I want to help farmers and agronomists by making complex data understandable and actionable so they can focus on what they do best: caring for their land to produce nutritious food.

As a graduate of Wageningen University for Agriculture, I've always been interested in how food is grown and its impact on the environment.

I've seen firsthand how complex the relationships between yield and environmentally friendly farming can be in Africa. Excited to bring my background to SoilBeat.

I'm an experienced software developer with a knack for handling backend development and managing systems.

I'm pretty handy with Docker and Linux, and I'm all about creating software that's efficient, keeping servers secure, and making sure users have a great experience.

I am a passionate professional with a degree in Agricultural Science and an MSc in Biotechnology from the Agricultural University of Athens. My expertise in implementing integrated pest management strategies and offering specialized agricultural counsel enables me to adeptly navigate diverse market demands, ensuring customer satisfaction while surpassing sales targets.

Through SoilBeat, I aim to enhance the adoption of Regenerative Agricultural Practices within the field of agronomy. By championing this transition, I envision contributing to a more sustainable future.

My passion? Turning technological challenges into working solutions. With over 20 years of experience, mostly within start-ups, I am a seasoned IT professional.

​

My area of expertise? Developing complex software for online services. I value an open, hands-on approach and direct communication. In the world of agriculture, this is more important than ever. Our future is at stake. So I am happy to contribute to that.

​

My personal experience and academic background in agriculture have provided me with deep knowledge of farming practices and principles. Yet, I am equally fascinated by technological advancements and their potential to transform agriculture and make sustainable farming solutions accessible globally. 

​

This passion for blending agricultural expertise with innovative technology gives me a unique perspective to make valuable contributions to the agricultural sector. Excited about applying my expertise across diverse disciplines, I am eager to contribute to the global benefit of farmers through the SoilBeat platform.

My passion for coding has driven me to learn various computer science areas, like web development, data science, application development, and artifiical intelligence.

​

Beyond the digital realm, I take joy in life's symphony - I play the piano, explore new places as a travel enthusiast, and have a profound connection with nature. My green thumb extends to cultivating plants and mushrooms, and I occasionally embrace my eco-friendly side by building composting worm farms and experimental hydrophonic systems.

Through my study of Horticulture & Business management, and my hands-on experience in the (coffee) agriculture, I’ve come to recognize regenerative agriculture as the key solution to our present challenges. I firmly believe that embracing innovative techniques and tools is essential to accelerate the transitional process for every crop. 

I joined Soilbeat, because I think that SoilBeat is a catalyst for facilitating this transition. I'm particularly drawn into its inclusive approach, welcoming farmers and agronomists from all backgrounds. 

Over the past years I’ve had the chance to dive into the complexity of the food and farming systems in an academic setting. I am always fascinated to learn about the numerous possibilities of applying regenerative methods to farming systems, and their capacity to act as a response to global challenges.

With SoilBeat I am excited to explore innovative ways to disseminate knowledge to the agricultural community, all while applying my skills and knowledge in a professional environment.

During my education in Horticulture and Business Management at the HAS green academy, I have developed a passion for regenerative agriculture and the principles it follows to protect and empower our soil structure and life, and overall result in a healthier environment.

I am a part of the SoilBeat team to contribute to the education of the farmers, and to the transition to regenerative agriculture for the benefit of our soils, planet, and the people.
