About Me

Fast-paced data scientist, experienced in data analysis, machine learning, statistics and cloud computing. Despite currently having a technical role, my mindset is always focused on the product and the business. Apart from my daily job, I develop data-driven solutions towards a more sustainable world, and I won two international data science competitions in this scope. Outside work, I am a dog lover, a gym rat and a guitarist.
