Welcome
Hi! And welcome to my digital home. My name is Dimitrios.

About me
Studies
I studied Mechanical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens. At the age of 23, my interest for mathematics and programming -and my curiosity to live abroad- brought me to Graz, Austria, where I did research on angioplasty and stents.
Work
In 2008 I came to the west coast of Sweden and worked on designing rocket and jet engines to withstand thermo-mechanical fatigue.
In 2013 I moved to Gothenburg, where, for 3.5 years, I worked as a Consultant Manager in the field of Virtual Product Development. During that time I had the possibility to experience several highly technological branches ranging from Automotive to Packaging.
Directly afterwards (in January 2017), I joined Mentice where, for 5 years, me and my team of Project Managers lead the development of Virtual Reality simulation software, within the fields of endovascular intervention and minimally invasive surgery.
Between August 2022 and January 2024 I worked as an Innovation Manager at the Region of Västra Götaland and at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. My primary focus was the collaboration between the public healthcare sector and the private industry sector. I also served as Innovation coach for a series of projects driven by clinical personnel within the region.
Since February 2024, I have been serving as Product Owner at Glooko, leading the Cloud Integrations team. I am thrilled to be working on a cutting-edge digital health platform that unifies data from many of the leading diabetes devices, delivering thus insights that improve personal and clinical decision support.

Personal information and interests
I have a beautiful wife and two incredible daughters.
I enjoy a variety of free-time activities, ranging from electric guitar to 3D printing. However, I spend most of my free time practicing endurance sports. I started swimming when I was six, and have not stopped since then. But I am also a cyclist and a runner. In 2014 I rode Mont Ventoux, in 2015 Passo dello Stelvio, and in 2022 Alpe d’Huez. In 2021 I ran for the first time the Athens Marathon in 4hrs33min, which I did again (together with my wife this time) in 2023. Recently I also (re)discovered strength training, which I practice 3 times per week.
I try to read 2 to 3 books per month. My favorite possession is my Honda Monkey which I bought in March 2022.
