About

I design and manage the development of innovative data and machine learning systems. Strongly believe that the solution needs to fit user needs, and have a solid foundation. Along the way I discovered that building a good team can be as satisfying as building a good product. I managed development of platforms for predictive maintenance, condition monitoring and planning support in maritime, rail, water management, energy and consumer goods. Like to work end to end, from data foundations to AI and machine learning services. Physical world implementations such as IoT, digital twins and graphs have my special interest
