Turning complex data into clear decisions.

I'm a data scientist who bridges the gap between technical possibility and business reality. Currently leading data science initiatives in agri-food, where the right insights can transform entire value chains.

Technical depth meets
strategic clarity

I've learned that the best AI solutions aren't built in isolation. They emerge from understanding the real problem, communicating openly about what's possible, and iterating closely with the people who'll use them. That's the approach I bring to every project—whether I'm building models or leading teams.

01

Understand First

Before touching data, I dig into the business context. What decision are we trying to improve? What does success actually look like? The technical solution follows from there.

02

Communicate Clearly

I translate between technical and business language fluently. Stakeholders know what we're building and why. Teams know what's expected. No black boxes, no jargon walls.

03

Deliver Value

Models that don't ship don't matter. I focus on practical solutions that work in production, with clear metrics tied to business outcomes—not just algorithmic performance.
