Summary
Michail Pantourakis is a Solution Delivery Manager and Conversational AI application engineer with nine years of experience building and leading teams that deliver enterprise-grade conversational systems. He progressed from hands-on dialog engineering and NLU to technical and people leadership—managing hiring, performance, and record delivery throughput for large Energy and Banking projects. His academic background is interdisciplinary, combining an Erasmus Mundus MSc in Computational and Systems Biology and a part-time MEng in ECE, which informs his strength in data-driven problem solving and rapid adaptability to new technologies. Michail pairs rigorous quality assurance and test-driven practices with practical software engineering, evidenced by rapid production readiness and mentoring successes early in his tenure. Comfortable in multicultural, cross-functional environments, he excels at turning complex requirements into modular, well-documented solutions that speed onboarding and project transferability. Outside work he pursues continuous learning through MOOCs and a public GitHub portfolio, reflecting a deliberate transition from biology and lab work into AI and software engineering.
