I use data mining to deliver insights and prescriptive models for the Nordic metals and steel industries. My primary focus is to develop machine learning models that showcase the efficacy of modern machine learning in optimization of industrial processes. My work involves a lot of advanced SQL queries, data cleaning, and feature engineering. Quite often this effort results in insightful visualizations as a byproduct.
