Description

Lead Data Scientist with 17 years of experience in designing, developing, and leading AI projects.
Versatile background across computer vision, structured data, NLP, and time series, combining hands-on expertise
with a pragmatic approach.
My role has consistently been hybrid: model design and development, industrialization, as well as technical
leadership, strategic scoping, and team mentoring.
I thrive in environments where AI delivers concrete value, particularly in industry, defense, transportation, and
financial services.
