The most amazing...
...end-to-end AI+IoT platform I helped create was for the monitoring of natural ecosystems with the start-up I co-founded.
Work Experience
Data Scientist, Co-founder, and CTO
foldAI
- Developed a patent-pending technology for the monitoring of ecosystems via Edge Computing.
- Applied machine learning and AI techniques to multivariate sensor data, able to run on embedded devices.
- Owned digital marketing and communication topics, from strategy to content creation.
- Owned market research topics, with the design, carrying out analysis of customer interviews.
- Developed the full data stack: from data ingestion, to database setup, machine learning processing jobs, up to customized web app setup and development for the visualization of data.
Data Scientist
Bragi
- Developed and deployed an in-house machine learning pipeline system adapted to the needs of the wearable technology at the core of the company.
- Developed and deployed machine learning models able to run locally on embedded devices and powering intelligent behavior in Bragi's wearable products.
- Created and demonstrated numerous proof-of-concept technologies for investor showcases, which had a role in attracting substantial funding for the start-up.
Experience
AI/IoT Monitoring Platform for Forests and Other Ecosystems (Aja)
My co-founders and I created a patent-pending hardware/software IoT platform for the quantification and accounting of bio-environmental parameters, including forest health, local climate, growth, and biodiversity. Our approach embraces the complexity of ecosystems to enable a realistic evaluation of the services they provide.
As a technical co-founder in an early stage deep-tech start-up, I am involved in all layers of software development for the platform, from the embedded side (development on the IoT devices) to the back and front end.
