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)

I was looking for some guidance in navigating the ML/AI/Research space as a generalist engineer and artist trying to work my way back into professional and academic work. I needed help trying to locate areas of study and clarifying my overall direction. He is very adaptable and has helped me hone in on areas of inquiry as well as methods for research. While undertaking mentorship, I got a part-time job in ML/OPS and he was amazing at providing advice and study advice for that too! He has a breadth of knowledge and a nice, friendly style that I think anyone wanting to find themselves in the AI space would find very useful and motivating!

I am working on a special LLM project, and due to David's mentoring it is progressing really well, and day by day I am getting closer to the final solution. I am really happy having a chance learning from him.
