About

Hi there! I am multilingual Chief Consultant/Engineer in the areas of Data Science, ML-Data and Software Engineering with over 14 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 excellent in providing support and feedback in the project I developed to help me transition into data science which would have been difficult for me to do solo. He has also been invaluable in providing feedback on my resume, job search strategy, long-term career direction and any concerns I have regarding my current work. David is flexible and easy to get along with and I look forward to each time we have a call.

Working with David has been great. He has a deep knowledge of machine learning which has been invaluable in both developing my machine learning knowledge from scratch and providing guidance on the project that I am currently working on. Despite having significant time differences, David has always been prompt answering any questions I have and bouncing ideas off of.

Working with David thus far has been excellent. He has provided materials and tasks that have enabled me to get quickly up to speed with the foundations of machine learning providing a sufficient level of challenge with each task. Additionally he is very response and proactive with any questions that I have. I look forward to what the future holds.
