About

Hi there! I am multilingual Chief Engineer in the areas of Data Science, ML-Data and Software Engineering with over 13 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 a great mentor, guiding me through the start of my freelance career and helping me work with a tech stack that includes Matillion ETL and Snowflake. He has also been a big help with my startup, Hylia.io, which is building a simple, multi-platform dashboard app that works as a virtual lifecoach and mentor, using gamification to keep users motivated. We meet twice a week, and those sessions are always fun. David has a good sense of humour and knows how to make me feel comfortable. His IT knowledge is impressive, and he always points me in the right direction and keeps me motivated. I'm really excited about adding AI and LLM features to my app. David knows a lot about these topics, as well as data engineering, which will help us build the right features. His advice is invaluable, and I couldn't ask for a better mentor.

David continues to be an exceptional mentor and a great help to me, as I am the sole data engineer at my company. He is always quick to respond and has helped with a wide variety of issues. He can assist me with technical questions and suggesting best practices, handling stakeholders or communication challenges at work, and figuring out what next steps to take when in a chaotic situation with many options. His guidance is very valuable.

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!!

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.
