About

I have industry experience as well as a deep understanding of the theory of data science, with a PhD in Statistics and a Masters in Applied Mathematics. Instead of fitting the problem to the the available tools, I enjoy looking for innovative combinations of tools that are optimal for the specific problem at hand.
