Senior🎓
Top SchoolAapo Tanskanen is a pragmatic AI and automation leader with 9 years’ experience building production ML, NLP and RPA solutions across Europe. As Co-founder & CTO of Renessai and former Thoughtworks lead ML engineer, he has designed end-to-end cloud architectures, recommendation and semantic search engines, and early GenAI systems shipped to production. He combines hands-on model training (including Finnish transformers and ASR on personal projects) with delivery skills like IaC, CI/CD and automated retraining loops. Previously at Gofore he saved hundreds of employee hours by leading chatbot and voice assistant automations and launched an NLP SaaS via his startup Lingoes.ai.

Curious and results-driven, he pairs experimentation with commercial instincts—frequently contributing demos and client stories that translate research into business value.
