About
Senior Data/ML Engineer @ WithSecure
I am interested in Big Data and Machine Learning topics, mainly related with society’s behaviour and the evolution of them. Indeed, I believe that in these days social innovations will come by studying and learning how people interact with each other and relate with the technological services provided.
