Senior🎓
Top SchoolCharles De Santana is a multidisciplinary founder and data scientist with 11 years of experience applying AI, statistical modeling, and computational science across industry and academia. He has founded multiple startups (Datascout, Kultrip, PredSea) and led data teams at eDreams ODIGEO while transitioning from an extensive postdoctoral research career in computational biology, climate and oceanography. Comfortable shipping end-to-end ML solutions in production (GCP, Docker, Airflow, SQL) and building research-grade simulation models with HPC, he bridges rigorous science and product-led engineering. His work spans natural language processing, spatial analysis, and complexity reduction, with a rare depth in ecological and climate modeling that informs practical AI products. A serial risk-taker who has rebuilt companies after bankruptcy, he values resilient, balanced teams and uses AI to free time for what matters most. Based in Spain, he’s equally driven by curiosity, social responsibility, and projects that turn complex data into clear, actionable answers.
