Summary
Dimitris Katikaridis is a research-focused software engineer and PhD candidate with 13 years of hands-on experience building UAV–UGV interconnection systems, mobile apps, and embedded platforms. He blends deep systems knowledge—Linux kernel customization, AOSP/ROM development and performance optimization—with practical mobile expertise in Flutter, native Android/iOS, and C++ MAVLink integrations. At CERTH and iBO he drives research-to-product work, while also supporting backend APIs and high-performance computing tasks for field robotics. Known for intense coding discipline and a pragmatic approach, he pairs academic rigor with production-ready implementations. A less obvious strength is his ability to span from low-level firmware and kernel tweaks up through cross-platform user experiences, making him effective at solving end-to-end system challenges.
