Revolutionizing boring. Sovereign infrastructure, DORA compliance, and process-native ERP | Expat Founder in Cyprus

Paphos, Cyprus

About

I build sovereign infrastructure for European organizations that refuse to compromise. No hype, no buzzwords; Just precise, provably better engineering. We call it "Revolutionizing Boring." My journey here wasn't a straight line. I’ve lived in five countries and built systems across multiple industries, from corporate services in Cyprus during the 2013 financial crisis, to regulated fintech, to Web3 pioneering. What I learned along the way: hype doesn't pay bills, and enterprise compliance is fundamentally broken. Companies are stuck between American SaaS that puts them under US jurisdiction, and consultants billing €800/hour for manual spreadsheets. That is why I founded Synthonyx. We are building the infrastructure Europe should have had a decade ago. WHAT I AM BUILDING NOW: • Synthonyx Sovereign: Automating 70% of DORA, ISO27001, and NIS2 compliance for EU organizations. • Synthonyx BSOS: A next-generation, process-native ERP where humans and AI agents actually collaborate to kill the 15-tool "frankenstack". HOW I OPERATE: I am a technical founder. I write code, I build in public, and I bootstrap. I believe in open-source transparency, and building modular systems that give users true control over their data. I still maintain advisory roles and a deep interest in Token Engineering and decentralized tech, but my daily obsession is solving the unsexy, essential problems that keep European businesses running. If you are a CFO/CISO tackling DORA, a founder escaping tool sprawl, or an engineer passionate about European tech sovereignty -> let's connect.
