SwitzerlandWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Data Scientist and former CTO with a proven track record in leveraging data-driven solutions to tackle complex challenges across various industries. My journey began with co-founding an EdTech startup, where I played a pivotal role in its success, culminating in a successful acquisition. Currently, I am self-employed, providing consulting services in data science, machine learning, and AI, while developing innovative solutions like an advanced energy management system.
Throughout my career, I have spearheaded significant projects, such as developing a transformer-based text summarization component for an investment research analyzer and enhancing portfolio optimization methodologies at InvestCloud. My experience spans various roles, including leading data science initiatives at Ava Women and Swiss Re, where I implemented predictive models that improved risk assessment and disaster predictions. My academic background in Engineering Physics, coupled with my extensive technical skills, positions me as a valuable asset in any data-driven environment.
