Naya Fytali
Software Engineer - into web apps, ML and anything with a good algorithm.
About Me
I like understanding how things work - whether that's a distributed system at scale or a neural network learning physics. Right now I split my time between building enterprise software at Netcompany and doing ML research at NCSR Demokritos, which keeps things interesting.
I studied Information Technology at AUEB with a focus on Cybersecurity, and I've found my sweet spot at the intersection of solid engineering and scientific computing. I care about writing code that's maintainable, not just code that works.

Experience
Associate Software Engineer
Netcompany
Athens, Greece
Promoted from Junior Software Engineer, Jan 2026
- Develop and maintain enterprise web applications using Java and React
- Contribute to feature planning and translate business requirements into technical specifications
- Diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks, improving system reliability and usability
- Collaborate cross-functionally with developers and testers to deliver on project milestones
Research Intern
INSANE Group, NCSR Demokritos
Athens, Greece
- Generalized a Physics-Guided Neural Network pipeline into a framework-agnostic implementation, enabling new physics problems to be onboarded without modifying core logic
- Decoupled data preprocessing, model training, and evaluation stages to improve maintainability and reusability
Projects
Physics-guided Neural Network Pipeline
Framework-agnostic inverse design pipeline enabling new physics problems to be onboarded without modifying core logic.
Learned how to decouple ML pipelines so that swapping a physics model doesn't break the whole system.
