Senior Data Scientist – Big DataI joined Vivid Games at the end of 2020 as a part-time contractor in order to work on the new machine learning project. I started my journey as a Data Scientist in a small team of great professionals with knowledge and experience in the fields, among others, of machine learning, big data, servers architecture, cloud computing, algorithms. After several months of huge teamwork and building up technical infrastructure, in May 2021 I left my previous job and became a full-time Data Scientist in the Big Data Team.
I like working with datasets, solving problems, and cooperating with others to provide them with analyses, models, or any other data-driven solutions. This can help to explain the reality or to predict the future while boosting the development in many business areas at the same time. I came to Vivid Games from the banking sector where for about 10 years I was mostly dealing with quantitative analyses and predictive modeling.
As an avid gamer, I was more than happy to change gears and become a part of a gaming company to work on incredibly interesting projects. In my spare time, I like to play video games and board games. I also like death metal music, going to concerts and music festivals. From time to time, I play guitar in a no-name band with my friends (deep in some cellar ). Last but not least, I’m a father, so spending time and playing with my kid gives me a lot of joy (along with a lot of mess to tidy up afterward) 😊
