Summary
Carlos De La Cruz is a Lead Data Scientist driving AI initiatives at Stora Enso with six years of hands-on experience in NLP, reinforcement learning, and production ML systems. He specializes in building scalable generative AI solutions—leveraging Langchain, Hugging Face, and Azure OpenAI—to move projects from PoC to production while establishing standards and best practices across teams. His background spans recommendation systems, time-series forecasting, and hybrid models, and he pairs research into LLM reasoning and multi-agent techniques with pragmatic engineering (Docker, Flask, Snowflake, cloud platforms). A strong mentor and cross-functional communicator, he accelerates delivery through code reviews, architectural guidance, and tool evaluation. Unusually for a practitioner at this level, he combines early-career UX and e-commerce analytics experience with formal study in machine learning and international relations, giving him a rare blend of product empathy and technical depth. Based in Greater Stockholm, he focuses on delivering efficient, maintainable AI that directly aligns with business value.
