Summary
Ilias Tsergoulas is a multidisciplinary data scientist and public policy professional with 10 years' experience applying economics, GIS and information systems to agricultural and regional development programs. He currently leads financial management and information systems for Greece's Common Agricultural Policy strategic plan while also instructing at the National Centre for Public Administration and Local Government. His technical toolkit spans R, Python, Julia and C, spatial databases (PostGIS/SpatiaLite), and full-stack data workflows—skills he channels into open-data projects like Agristats and consumer apps such as Wine Routes. Ilias combines policy-grade rigor in state-aid and RDP financial flows with hands-on data engineering and mapping, enabling evidence-based decisions for rural development. Notably, he transformed a non-machine-readable PDO/PGI registry into a nearly 700-winery geodatabase and a tourism app, illustrating his knack for turning messy public data into usable products. He is driven by continuous learning and prefers breadth of impact over narrow seniority labels.
