About Me
I combine deep technical expertise with practical business acumen to help organizations succeed in their AI journey. With a PhD in Computer Science and over 15 years of industry experience, I bring both theoretical understanding and hands-on implementation skills to every project.
Professional Journey
My path in technology began early — programming since age 8 and developing a chess engine in assembly as a teenager. This early passion led to a PhD in Computer Science from KTH, one of Europe's top engineering universities, where I specialized in machine learning and computational neuroscience. My international research experience spans Japan and Europe, giving me a unique perspective on AI solutions.
As Head of Data Science at Loveholidays, I spearheaded initiatives that transformed their data capabilities, including an ML-driven marketing optimization platform that achieved a 15% ROI improvement. I've worked with industry leaders across FinTech, TravelTech, and Enterprise Software, consistently delivering measurable results through innovative AI solutions.
Beyond technical implementation, I excel at building and scaling high-performing data science teams. As co-founder of Data Science Speakers London, I actively contribute to the tech community. My research has garnered over 300 citations, and I regularly share insights as a guest lecturer at Oxford University and speaker at conferences like ODSC and PyData.
My bestselling books on GenAI and ML implementation have helped thousands of practitioners navigate the complexities of enterprise AI. My latest work on GenAI with LangChain became an Amazon bestseller in Programming, demonstrating my ability to bridge theoretical concepts with practical implementation.
My Approach
I believe in a pragmatic approach to AI implementation that focuses on delivering tangible business value. My methodology combines deep technical expertise with business acumen, ensuring AI solutions are not only technically sound but also aligned with organizational objectives.
Every engagement begins with understanding your unique challenges and objectives. Whether you're implementing GenAI solutions, scaling ML infrastructure, or building technical teams, I provide tailored strategies that deliver measurable results.

Beyond Work
When not consulting or writing, I spend time with my 6-year old son, who's currently deciding between becoming a professional football player or a machine learning engineer. I also practice Choi Kwang Do, constantly working on improvement — a philosophy I bring to both my martial arts and professional work.
