professional experience
Founder & CEO
2023 — presentMyRoomie · full-time · website
- Founded and lead a flatsharing and housing platform that grew out of a problem I had myself: coming back to Athens and finding the roommate search unsafe and unreliable.
- Grew it from a flatshare marketplace into a Living-as-a-Service model — corporate housing, managed properties, relocation paperwork and SafeStay verification.
- Compatibility matching runs on a rule matrix across 50+ lifestyle and behavioural factors, deliberately rule-based rather than a trained recommender, so every match can be explained.
- Athens first, then a wider European footprint, with Cyprus as the current expansion focus.
- Recognised as Rising Startup at the Startupper Awards 2023.
