π― Executive Summary
Panagiotis Koletsos brings 20+ years of deep architecture, enterprise data systems, cloud, and AI foundations (TOGAF 10, SAFe 6, AWS CSAA, Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 prep, BigQuery ML, and Microsoft Fabric badges in Medallion Architecture and Apache Spark).
His diagnostic score of 77% (770/1000) comfortably clears the 700 passing mark at baseline. To achieve a top-tier score ($>900$) and reinforce deep hands-on technical authority, study efforts are focused into a lean, high-velocity 3-phase preparation roadmap.
