ABOUT ME

Passionate About Inspiring Others

As a mentor in Data Science, Machine Learning Engineering, and AI Engineering, I'm committed to helping my mentees achieve their goals in Data field. With one-time sessions and various mentorship options available, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

​

I'm lucky to work with very talented people and have a proven record of helping to land a job or get a promotion at Bosch, Cariad,  Blue Yonder, Continental, OTTO, Delivery Hero, Capgemini Invent, Hapag Lloyd, Bon Prix, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Signal Iduna, Amazon and other cool places.

Any goal is reachable if one takes courage to break it down to doable steps. If you want to become a Data Scientist or you're Data Scientist and not sure how to develop yourself in a fast changing world let's talk and find out how to do it together.

My Story

My background is particle physics, where I was completely spoiled by access to large amounts of data and the freedom to try out every hot ML algorithm on it. The experiments I participated in were so-called large scale experiments (e.g Large Hadron Collider) and had from 500+ up to 2.5k other people working on them. So in addition to physics, I was exposed to the best software development practices that helped us to avoid a complete mess and destroy the Universe. 


Afterwards, I spent some time in Blue Yonder, a software vendor company that creates B2B SaaS solutions for the Supply Chain industry. Where I learned a big deal about what it takes to go from "it works on my laptop" to "it smoothly runs for a global retail across 30 countries 24/7". As part of the customer-facing team I had the opportunity to learn about the culture and data-driven applications in many leading companies in retail and manufacturing (Heineken, IKEA, Coca-Cola, AVON, Starbucks, Galeria-Kaufhof, Globus, Martin-Brower, PepsiCo, Morrisons, etc)

 

Next I had a short stop at e-commerce, fantastic field, which has data encoded in its DNA, where smart data usage is crucial for many parts of the business. Here I had pleasure working with NLP and deep dive into the world of informational retrieval, search, SEO and recommender systems as a hands-on Data Science Manager at Kaufland e-commerce (marketplace active just in 3 countries back then). 

​

Currently I'm mostly focused on mentoring and contributing to the growth of the next generation of data science elite: from Data Analysts up to ML Engineers.




I also enjoy sharing tips&tricks for Data Science practitioners in
