Projects

Emel - Machine learning library for the Erlang ecosystem, initially written in Elixir and later reimplemented in Gleam. It provides a functional interface for Decision Trees, K Means, K Nearest Neighbors, Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, Neural Networks, and Perceptron.
Synapses - Collection of neural network libraries available in Clojure, C#, Elixir, F#, Gleam, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Scala. It provides customization options, visualizations, data preprocessing, and compatibility for transferring networks between different platforms.
Blindfold Chess Training - Cross-platform mobile application. The chess mechanics and the game logic were written in F#, and the UI components were created with Maui. It integrates SQLite for data persistence and utilizes platform-specific features for Android, and iOS. The application follows the MVU architecture to manage the state and UI updates.
Quantum Puzzle Generator - Mobile app developed using F# and Xamarin. The project implements quantum computing logic and mathematics, including complex matrix operations and quantum gate simulations. It also renders graphical representations of quantum state reactively.
Minigen - Pure random data generation library for the Erlang ecosystem.
Turtle Graphics - Elm library that facilitates the creation of graphics programmatically.
Glicko 2 - Implementation of the Glicko-2 rating system for Scala and Scala.js.
Sudoku Engine - Sudoku engine, written in Haskell.
Chess Melody - React and TypeScript-based interactive app.
Creative Scala - Translation of the book Creative Scala to Greek.
