About • Expertise Finder

Origins

While working as a TV producer Stavros thought there must be a better way to find experts. Programmer Ebrahim ensures Expertise Finder is intuitive like Google and built for the mobile era.

Speaking with someone with specific expertise is a basis for quality content and a way for an expert and his/her university to be seen in a positive light.

Co-Founder

While working as a TV producer I struggled to find people with the right expertise to interview. My work as a journalist started with reports for CBC Radio from Moldova and Kazakhstan.

I'm insatiably curious. I have worked as an election observer across the former USSR. I speak French, Russian and Greek.

Co-Founder

I believe in using software to solve inefficiencies. I have designed an interface for radars, written automation code for a production-line packaging device, and generated heating profiles for jet engines.

My most enjoyable engineering challenge was assembling a "smart" boxing speed bag while studying Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo.
