Jakub Svehla
Data Scientist
I am a full-stack data scientist and ML engineer with 5+ years experience. I have experience with the whole data science project lifecycle from business understanding, to collecting/scraping data, to visualizing it and doing data analytics, to building a predictive model and deploying it to production. Besides that, I have experience with leading a data science team, communicating with clients to understand their needs and problems, leading data science workshops and supervising junior data scientists.
