Our people

Senior Data Scientist, Finland

 

"My interest in data science started with my interest in mathematics. At the end of my physics studies at University of Jyväskylä I realized that I wanted to pursue my career closer to people and real-life business problems rather than academia. This sparked my interest to study data science and machine learning on my own time and through courses provided by the university, and here we are. Before joining Thoughtworks I was a data scientist at a product and gaming company, Rovio, where I mostly focused on data modeling."

"I joined Thoughtworks as a Software Developer after graduating with a Math and Physics degree. I knew very quickly that I wanted to use all of the skills I had gained, which made the pivot to data engineering very natural. I went through Thoughtworks' data residency program and worked on two data projects right away, which solidified my interest in data. 

 

It was rewarding to participate on my first project not just because it was intellectually stimulating but also because it was tech for good. I'm happy to say I am a Data Engineer here!"

"What I find most rewarding in my role as a data engineer is the continuous stream of challenges it presents. I derive great satisfaction from the process of identifying requirements, comprehending the problem at hand and then crafting effective solutions. While data engineering may not be perceived as the most glamorous job, its significance cannot be overstated. It serves as the foundation for any data-driven organization, enabling the creation of impactful BI reports and even powering cutting-edge technologies like Generative AI and LLMs. By ensuring the availability of high-quality data, I contribute to unlocking the full potential of data-driven initiatives."
