I'm ericsocrat — a product builder from Cyprus, based in Kraków, Poland.

Background in Marine Engineering & Naval Architecture. Today I work in global maritime supply-chain operations.

Day job: global supply-chain ops. Nights & weekends: building structured data products.

I don't come from a traditional CS background. My strength is systems thinking. I design architectures, define data models, write specifications, and set verification rules — then leverage AI coding agents (GitHub Copilot and others) to implement efficiently.

I focus on:

• Deterministic data modeling

• Idempotent ingestion pipelines

• Clear API contracts

• QA-first workflows

• Large automated test suites

• CI gates (unit + E2E + security scanning)

The goal: production-grade systems built with structure, clarity, and guardrails.

  role:       "Product Builder & AI Strategist",
  from:       "Cyprus 🇨🇾",

  superpower: "Turning vision into production software via AI agents",
  focus:      ["Data Products", "AI-Augmented Development", "Open Source"],

  method:     "Architecture + AI Agents + QA-first workflow",
  principle:  "No data ships without automated verification",
};

I work at the intersection of product thinking and AI-augmented execution:

• Architecture first — I design the database schemas, API contracts, and system structure before writing code
• AI as my engineering partner — I direct Copilot agents with precise strategy and context
• QA-first workflow — Large automated test suite + CI gates (unit + E2E + security scanning)
• Ship fast, ship right — CI/CD pipelines, branch protection, automated deployment on every merge

Every commit goes through automated gates. Every data point is verified. Every deployment is green.
