Data Science

I offer freelance services in Applied Data Scientist where I help organizations turn structured and unstructured data into data driven insights, digital prototypes, and integrated product features, building on 15+ years of experience as a technical founder and founding engineer at multiple early-stage startups in Iceland, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Spain and France.

I have broad background working on applied artificial intelligence (AI), data science, machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP) and search technology. I’m driven by strong missions addressing societal challenges, sustainability and climate change.

Take a look at my portfolio for a snapshot of my previous work.

Academic Research

I have a PhD in Computer Science and an MSc degree in Computational Logic from the University of Amsterdam. At an undergraduate level, I studied Mathematics and Computer Science at University of Iceland. Before moving into the startup world, I worked as an applied research scientist at the Yahoo! Research Lab in Barcelona.

My research covered a range of subjects such as information retrieval, machine learning, data mining, and natural language processing, resulting in a sizable list of academic publications and research prototypes.

Fiction Writing

Storytelling is one of my favorite past-times and I write short stories and flash fiction. I have published four collections of stories available as both e-books and paperbacks.
