Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikolaos Ftylitakis is a seasoned software engineer and CTO with 15 years of experience building C++/Qt systems, embedded appliances, and IoT platforms from research prototypes to commercial products. As co-founder and technical lead at insigh.io he drives an end-to-end IoT stack that lowers the barrier for new users, combining hardware and backend services. His background spans high-throughput network analysis, distributed embedded probes, and automotive-adjacent development, complemented by earlier work in web and middleware systems. A long-time open-source maintainer, he enhanced qzxing to add QR encoding/decoding and contributed responsive features to a popular Vue grid layout, showing fluency across full-stack domains. Colleagues describe him as self-driven and pragmatic, equally comfortable debugging memory management in C++ or iterating UI prototypes in Qt/QML. Based in Athens, he brings entrepreneurial grit and a research-informed approach from his MSc and years at ICS-FORTH to product-focused engineering.
