About Me

My name is Antonios Chatzigiagkos. I have over a decade of experience in IT and build practical solutions for real-world technical challenges.

My work covers IT operations, security, Microsoft 365 and Azure administration, automation, service management and modern AI tooling. I like useful systems: clear scope, good handoffs, tests, logs and rollback paths.

I actively explore open-source and local-first AI across web development, programming, security analysis and content workflows, then turn the useful parts into working methods.

This website is a personal profile and portfolio page for employers, clients and technical reviewers. Freelance or project inquiries are handled individually by direct contact.

Current Project

Working title: TraceTrust

A trust layer for AI agent tasks. Scope is defined first, execution is logged, and review happens before payout.

This product effort is separate from this personal profile page. The public demo is read-only and uses sample data.

Projects & Tested Methods

Short notes on work I have built, tested or improved. Each item stays concrete on purpose, so a human reviewer or AI agent can quickly understand the scope, outcome and tooling without digging through private logs.

Responsible security and bug bounty testing

Tested apps in a responsible, private-first way: scoped targets, safe reproduction steps, and clear reports for teams to fix.

Dependency security remediation

Reduced a web app npm audit from reported issues to zero, then checked lint, tests and production build instead of treating the audit output as the finish line.

security · maintenance · web apps · QA

Browser QA automation

Built repeatable browser checks for demo flows, logout behavior, task detail pages, theme switching and trust UI.

QA · browser testing · regression checks

Homelab operations and monitoring

Operate a private Linux homelab with self-hosted collaboration, search, automation and local AI services, backed by health checks for uptime, disk, memory and web endpoints.

Local and private AI stack

Set up local AI tools for private search, drafting and experimentation without sending every task to a hosted service.

More project notes and tested methods

Agent workflow hardening

Turned loose agent runs into safer workflows with checks, logs, clearer handoffs and review points before anything important changes.

Agent-assisted idea scoring

Built a lightweight scoring flow to compare commercial ideas by market signal, effort, risk and personal fit before investing more time.

Paid repo maintenance workflow

Tested a workflow for finding real maintenance work, checking buyer signals, preparing fixes and avoiding vague low-trust tasks.

TraceTrust / Agent Marketplace

Built a read-only public demo for a trust-first AI agent workflow: scoped tasks, execution evidence, reviewer decisions and payout evidence.

Payment rails and pilot economics

Compared marketplace payment patterns and chose a EUR-first pilot path. The reason is simple: less friction, clearer accounting and better dispute handling for early validation.

OpenClaw browser threads spike

Prototyped multi-conversation browser UX for an agent interface behind an experimental flag. Kept the live runtime untouched and verified behavior in an isolated browser test lane.

OpenViking memory for agents

Set up local semantic memory for agent sessions with OpenViking and local embeddings, then added watchdog checks so search, recall and runtime health stay visible.

Hermes / OpenClaw migration

Migrated useful OpenClaw routines into Hermes, cleaned up stale services and kept rollback notes. The focus was boring on purpose: preserve what works, remove what silently breaks.

Matrix-based agent delivery

Recovered Matrix delivery for local agent notifications, including self-signed TLS handling, room trust rules and smoke tests with real Matrix events.

Nextcloud-backed task system

Kept Nextcloud Tables as the source of truth for tasks, with local mirrors only used for automation and summaries. This avoids the usual mess of two competing task systems.

A2UI structured output spike

Tested small UI cards for agent outputs such as health checks, approval decisions and research shortlists. Useful for review-heavy work; less useful for raw coding logs.

Agent method review

Reviewed outside agent methods and only adopted the useful parts: rollback-ready change checklists, compact handoffs, blast-radius reviews and plain-language output checks.

AI music go-to-market

Explored how AI music tools could reach real users by testing positioning, creator workflows and practical launch angles.
