About
A short bio
George (Yorgos) Zakis works as Director of Product at Omilia, a conversational AI company, with a focus i.a. on Developer Experience. He joined in 2019 as an NLU engineer, building applications mainly in English, French, Spanish and Greek, and moved on through technical leadership and solution delivery to product. Along the way he has worked on solution architecture for large deployments and led teams across the stack, currently focusing on prototyping, product strategy, vision and building.
He studied Greek Language and Literature, with a major in Linguistics at the University of Athens, then Natural Language Processing at the National Technical University of Athens and the University of Athens, and holds an MSc in Data Science and Machine Learning from the Hellenic Open University.
I like building things and working on ideas, holding to a holistic view of learning in which science, art and technology feed one another.
