About

Hi there! I am multilingual Chief Data Scientist/ML-Data and Software Engineer with over 12 years of experience in data science, data analytics, software engineering, artificial intelligence and data mining. I have mentored dozens of people from fresh beginners to experienced professionals, to C-level executives. I hold a Ph.D in systems engineering and computational game theory.

I have worked as a consultant in many industry sectors (e.g. Insurance, energy, telecom, banking, shipping, fishing, media and many others). I have also produced multiple scientific publications and presentations where I have dissemitated my work in several international conferences. At the moment, I am working at Atea AS (One of the largest tech services suppliers in Europe), where I lead and take part in many projects that aim to strengthen and solidify Atea value creation proposal to its clients, both in the public and private sectors.

I personally love to mentor students who are committed, passionate, driven and creative when it comes to solving problems. Please feel free to reach out if there is anything you are wondering about (P.S. As previously mentioned, I am multilingual :) please feel free to reach out in English, Spanish, French, Norwegian, Swedish or Danish)

David has been an extremely helpful mentor for me for nearly a year now. He helps me brainstorm ideas, suggests solutions to technical or organizational problems, and helps guide me through best practices for situations. He is always prepared for each meeting and is ready to discuss where we left off last time. I'm so fortunate to have his guidance and recommendations for building a data platform.

David is the best mentor! He has helped me navigate so many different types of issues, ranging from technical problems, advice on tools and products, guidance on how to handle organizational roadblocks, and general problems from being the only data person in a company. He has helpful responses to everything I bring him, and I am really fortunate to have him to rely on for helping me towards a successful future.

David has been such a wonderful mentor. Even from the first five minutes he was able to help me with multiple concerns and issues I have been facing. He has provided a lot of valuable advice from both a technical perspective, to guidance on how to navigate a particular working environment. I am so happy with his support and I really appreciate him. Thank you!!

Already settled in the field of data science, I came to mentor cruise looking to find someone to help me up my game--help me learn the skills I need to advance my career to the next level. David has been all that and more! He has been very kind and accommodating with both scheduling and with offering exactly what I need. His expertise in the skills of data science, understanding of the job/career space, and his ability to explain complex concepts in simple ways has been super refreshing and helpful for me. We are only a few months in now, but I am very excited to continue working with David and already feel like I am in a better place than I was when I started.
