Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKyriakos Kyriakou is a software engineer, researcher and entrepreneur with nine years of experience bridging academic research and product-focused startups. He specializes in algorithmic transparency and fairness, pursuing a PhD on human oversight of algorithms while lecturing programming courses and consulting as a data/technology analyst. He co-founded multiple ventures (BadFive, Meera) that blend content, discovery and quality-ranking algorithms, and has a track record of winning awards and startup funding through incubation and accelerator programs. At CYENS he built human-centred auditing infrastructure for black-box systems and contributed to an award-winning demo at HCOMP 2020, showing a practical bent for translating research into usable tools. An IDEA and Conception X alumnus who now mentors and represents deeptech entrepreneurship in Cyprus, he pairs hands-on senior development skills with multidisciplinary research rigor. Less obvious: he combines grassroots hacker experience (early crawler and tooling projects) with institutional research grants, making him comfortable across hackathons, funded projects and classroom teaching.
