Savas Parastatidis, MSc., PhD.
I build products that enhance our lives through the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI). I build technologies that support the natural interaction between humans and AI-powered experiences. I work as a Software Engineer at Meta‘s Reality Lab. I was a Senior Principal Engineer in Alexa AI and Cortana’s architect & co-creator amongst other roles.
“This Panda Is Dancing” is a poem that greatly resonates with me. It is about creating technology to “enhance humanity”, to enhance reality. (credit: poetic short film by Max Stossel & Sander van Dijk)

It was my way of learning tools such as langchain, ollama, vector stores for retrieval, etc. Then work got in the way and I never followed up. Until now. While still thinking about the digital twin, I started pondering about…

Digital Twin (my playground)
I am embarking on a side project that involves memory and multimodal understanding for an assistant so I wanted to start exploring the technologies involved. My “Digital Twin” is one of my playgrounds for learning and practicing with relevant technologies such as Python, LLMs, Langchain, Ollama, etc. I also started using Swift but that’s a…

“This is exactly what LLMs are made for”
I was in Toronto, Canada. I’m on the flight back home now. The trip was very productive. A few of us went there to meet part of our team and discuss our plans for the coming months. First time in Toronto. Beautiful city. Next time I’ll make a point of staying longer. Stefan Scherer (a…
