Tasos Koutoumanos is a seasoned Chief Technologist with 13 years of experience leading R&D, learning technologies, and cloud/grid infrastructure initiatives across EU-funded projects and service platforms. He combines deep academic grounding (PhD in Software Engineering and Learning Technology Systems) with hands-on roles as a software architect, infra architect, and technical team lead, having built and managed services like dschool.edu.gr and custom VM images for proprietary grids. Based in Woonsocket, Rhode Island while rooted in Greece, he excels at translating research outputs into practical, shareable tools and standards—having served as a paid expert for CEN’s Learning Technology Standardisation Committee. Known for orchestrating cross-disciplinary teams of developers, sysadmins and designers, he brings a pragmatic focus on interoperability and professional development in digital media. Less obvious: his career stretches back to early UNIX/Sun/IRIX system administration, giving him uncommon operational depth beneath his research and leadership roles.
