| Summary | Data Scientist / ML Engineer with extensive experience delivering end-to-end analytics on large-scale Danish public health data (national registries, regional reporting). Recently completed an M.Sc. in Mathematical Modelling & Computation, with strong foundations in modern ML and probabilistic methods (Bayesian inference, uncertainty quantification, diffusion models). Comfortable in client-facing work: translating ambiguous stakeholder questions into data pipelines and clear, decision-ready outputs (reports, dashboards, KPIs). |
