Steven Stavrakis Applied AI/ML Engineer

Agentic AI systems, built end to end.

I design tool-using agents, MCP integrations, source-grounded RAG, and the full-stack products around them.

Selected AI systems

Built for real constraints.

Open source · 2024

Obsidian MCP Server

An MCP server that gives compatible AI clients guarded read, write, search, and tag-management access to Obsidian vaults.

Adopted by the community with 700+ GitHub stars and 80+ forks, backed by validated tool schemas, agent-readable errors, recoverable failures, and CLI utilities.

AI-enabled OSINT classification

A planning model extracted key terms and created per-record research plans, then parallel tool-using workers corroborated time, place, and reported sentiment across public sources.

Matched every one of the roughly 30 available human-labeled validation records, then classified the full set of about 400 in a 30-minute run.

Speech-to-RAG knowledge system

A source-grounded conversational knowledge base assembled from lecture audio, slides, and notes, with every answer linked back to supporting material.

Processed 30+ hours of audio and 200+ slides through transcription, terminology correction, chunking, embedding, retrieval, storage, and a deployed conversational interface.

Let’s build useful AI systems.

I’m interested in applied AI work where reliable agent behavior, grounded information, and thoughtful product engineering all matter.
