Nikolaos
Tzoutzidis

Builder, trader, producer. Greek-Australian, Melbourne-based.Self-taught tech. Crypto since 2016. Commercial Producer at Greek FM. Built the platform Greek FM runs on. Now shipping voice agents, content pipelines and full-stack AI systems for clients through Pulse.AI.

▸ THE ORIGIN

Greek kid with a turntable.

Born into the Greek-Australian community in Melbourne. Grew up surrounded by Greek music, culture, and community — values that still drive what I build today.

Started DJing at 13. By 16 I was playing gigs most weekends. Mostly Greek events — weddings, baptisms, celebrations — but every genre on the list. Music wasn't a hobby. It was the first career.

Got into crypto in 2016 — before the hype, before the NFT craze, before everyone became an "expert." Traded, educated, built. That included a 350-GPU Ethereum mining operation with the full stack behind it: power, cooling, monitoring, optimisation. Ran it through the bull run.

The music never stopped. DJing evolved into events, production, and eventually building digital platforms for media companies. That side became the proving ground for what I now build at scale.

Now I run Pulse.AI — an AI agency building voice agents, chatbots, content pipelines, media platforms, CRM integrations, business automations, and full-stack systems for businesses that want to ship. I also offer trading-systems engineering as a private service to quant traders and desks.

I don't talk about what I'm going to do. I build it, ship it, move on to the next one.

▸ TIMELINE

Every claim, receipts attached.

2008

STARTED DJING — AGE 13

Picked up the decks at 13. By 16 I was playing gigs most weekends. Specialised in Greek events and celebrations, but played everything.

2016

ENTERED CRYPTO

Early adopter before the mainstream wave. Started trading, educating, building. A real crypto OG, not a 2021 tourist.

2020

350-GPU ETHEREUM MINING FARM

Built and operated a 350-GPU Ethereum mining operation. Full infra: power, cooling, monitoring, optimisation. Taught me more about ops at scale than any bootcamp.

2025

PULSE.AI LAUNCHED

Founded the AI agency. Voice agents, chatbots, content pipelines, full-stack builds — custom AI for businesses that want to actually ship.

2026

BUILT GREEK FM — END TO END

Designed and developed the entire Greek FM digital platform: web, iOS, Android, admin, voice agents, content engine. Now Commercial Producer at Greek FM, running it day-to-day.

2026

PULSE TRADING SYSTEMS

Engineering service for quant traders and desks — custom algos, indicators, backtesters, risk engines. Builds, not signals. Not managed money. Not advice.

▸ BEYOND THE CODE

The human side.

I'm not just a screen. Short version:

🥊

KICKBOXING

Training hard. Discipline, grit, the right hook.

💪

FITNESS / PT

Personal trainer mindset — the gym is therapy and the lab.

🎶

GREEK MUSIC

Obsessed. Producing, DJing, living it. Laïká to modern.

🎵

MUSIC PRODUCTION

Making beats, mixing, mastering. The creative outlet that now drives broadcast-grade audio at Greek FM.

📚

CRYPTO EDUCATOR

Teaching others since 2016. Sharing what actually works, not what’s trending.

🐾

ANIMAL LOVER

American Staffy + two cats. They run the house.

▸ SKILL MATRIX

Generalist, by design.

End-to-end delivery depends on being credible across every layer. Not elite in any single one, but competent enough to ship from first call to launch without handing off to five different specialists.

▸ WHY WORK WITH ME

One operator, end-to-end. No handoffs.

  • Direct with the builder. No account managers, no brief-telephone. The person quoting is the person shipping.
  • Fixed scope, fixed price. No hourly-rate scope creep. Packs are fixed. Customs are scoped in 48 hours and locked.
  • You own the code. On delivery. No vendor lock-in, no revenue share, no SaaS rent on your own platform.
  • Credibility stack. Greek FM is running live on what I build. Your project doesn't fund my first attempt.
  • Honest about fit. If your project isn't right for the one-operator model, I'll tell you on the first call and refer you elsewhere. No forced-sell.
WHY SOLO · THE HONEST TRADE-OFFS
