Georgios Pilitsoglou
Product Engineer · Athens, Greece
I'm a product engineer with 10+ years of experience building web applications and the systems that make building them faster. My background is in React and TypeScript, but I've long since stopped thinking in terms of the frontend — I care about the full product: architecture decisions, data models, distribution, and whether the thing actually ships.
What I build
- MyPenFlow — a home for fountain-pen enthusiasts. Discover pens, inks, and stationery, and find the shop with the best price, all in one place. mypenflow.com
- Greek Startups — a directory of the Greek tech ecosystem: startups, who funds them, and the people building them. In development.
- nikai — a personal knowledge OS for the AI era. 1,100+ tools and methodologies, structured and searchable, with a formal way to evaluate new ideas.
- This site — including the /ai endpoint, a machine-readable profile at a canonical URL. A small proof that the personal web can be agent-native.
Day job
Currently contracting as a Frontend Architect on an AI-native platform — building with Claude Code, custom MCP servers, and a DDD-structured Nx monorepo. The client is in stealth, so I'll keep the specifics light for now.
What I write about
Posts here fall into three pillars:
- Story — personal essays about building, thinking, and the AI era
- Under the Hood — technical deep-dives into engineering decisions
- Playbook — methodology and process for building well
