Who am I?
Hello, I’m Dimitra Melanitis—an IT Swiss Army Knife used to adapting to different tools, teams and needs.
I’m a IT professional with a background in software engineering, functional analysis, and internal systems design.
For over a decade, I’ve specialised in bringing structure to complexity and creating solutions that people not only need—but actually want to use. My work has mostly been rooted in scientific context, which shaped a structured, analytical approach—focused on clarity, rigour, and results that actually serve people.
I’ve worked on everything from automating data pipelines and writing user guides to building internal tools from scratch. I also coordinated projects when needed, helping align teams and keeping things moving. My focus is always on clarity, simplicity, and making things built to last.
More details about my background are available on request or via LinkedIn.

Case studies
Real examples of my work, from apps and data pipelines to process optimisation and technical documentation
The Prisonner’s Dilemma
Focus area: modelling, strategy simulation, Python scripting
A Python prototype designed to simulate repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma games between strategic agents. The model explores classic and experimental strategies, including a forgiving version of tit-for-tat, to observe how cooperation can emerge or fail over time.
Rain prediction prototype
Focus area: machine learning workflows, feature preprocessing, model calibration, visual diagnostics
This exploratory prototype was developed to support a broader reflection on how machine learning could complement meteorological forecasting. It simulates the basic steps of building a rainfall prediction tool using simple, station-level data and logistic regression.
Invoicing tool
Focus area: automation, Python scripting, PDF generation, client data management
A custom-built Python tool designed to simplify invoicing. It features client autofill, a dropdown for service references, and auto-generated PDFs with a clean, branded layout, tailored to real needs.
What you get when we work together
Clarity
I help translate your needs into structure so we can move forward with confidence. My approach is shaped by years of experience in scientific environments, where clarity is non-negotiable.
Reliability
I’m responsive, organised, and focused. I keep projects moving and make sure nothing gets lost in the shuffle—especially in complex or cross-disciplinary contexts, where structured thinking keeps everything aligned.
The right tool, not just any tool
I adapt the solution to your reality—not the other way around.
