Alexandru Nita
@alexandrunita
I turn SaaS revenue, operational, and financial data into dashboards, forecasts, and decisions.
NetherlandsWhat I'm looking for
I've built an end-to-end machine-learning AML platform as my Computer Science thesis, combining Spark MLlib Gradient Boosted Trees with transparent AML rules so analysts can understand why transactions are flagged.
At COO:PLOY, I co-founded an AI and automation studio building data pipelines, workflow automation, and AML/fraud-detection tooling for business clients. I own client relationships and delivery, turning detection models and data pipelines into tools clients use and trust.
Across Pizza Beppe, Holiday Inn Express, Starbucks, and InterContinental, I've owned P&Ls, KPIs, reporting, pricing, inventory, and cost analysis. I grew revenue 15% at Holiday Inn Express, reduced costs 5%, cut waste 3% at Starbucks, and improved repeat transactions 10%.
I pair ten years of data-driven operations with Python, SQL, Apache Spark, Power BI, data modeling, quality, and governance. I enjoy owning the numbers end to end and explaining them clearly to people who are not analysts.
