Systems thinker.
Enterprise architect.

Timotheos Samartzidis

I connect patterns across technology, organizations, regulation and human behavior to turn complexity into better architectures and decisions.

My work brings together enterprise architecture, AI and technology strategy, governance and security. I focus on AI for Leaders and agentic systems, building the conditions for intelligent systems to create value without losing control.

Currently: Principal Systems / IT-Architect Engineer at R+V Versicherung AG, Center of Excellence Enterprise Architecture, since July 2026. Contributing with peer architects to the enterprise adoption of AI-enabled software engineering.

Previously: IT-Compliance and architecture governance at R+V Re (2024–2026). Engineering and technology leadership at LIME Medical (2019–2023), leading a multidisciplinary team of around 17 people on connected rehabilitation products.

Background: Research in biometrics and computer vision at Fraunhofer IGD, followed by software and product architecture. M.A. Leadership in Creative Industries and B.A. Digital Media.
