Athanasios Theocharis is a Principal Researcher with nine years of experience blending AI research, space systems engineering, and production-grade software development. He has led the software architecture and CI/CD for a 3U CubeSat approved by ESA, built mission-critical embedded systems in C/C++ with >90% unit test coverage, and more recently helped scale Gandalf, a widely used AI security game, across AWS and front/back-end stacks. His background spans reinforcement and few-shot learning research (ETH Zürich, TU Delft) and practical ML deployment, including a master’s thesis applying transfer/meta-learning to crop management. Comfortable from low-level FreeRTOS tasks to Flask/React services and prompt red-teaming, he pairs rigorous engineering discipline with hands-on security work. Based in Delft and academically rooted in top European labs, he combines spaceflight-proven reliability with adversarial-AI expertise not obvious from a typical software profile.
