Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavide Burba is a software engineer with 8 years of experience bridging backend engineering and machine learning, currently building sustainable data tools at ecoinvent in Switzerland. He has shipped SaaS backends and CI/CD-driven infrastructure on AWS while also developing forecasting and optimization models that delivered measurable cost savings for commodity trading clients. His background in mathematical engineering and a track record in AI research (including publications, patents, and a USAID competition win) give him a strong foundation in principled modeling and hierarchical time-series reconciliation. Colleagues value his pragmatic, curiosity-driven approach: he moves models from research to production via automation (autoML pipelines, internal libraries) and tackles technical debt to keep systems reliable. Not obvious from the title: he pairs hands-on backend work with domain-focused ML impact, often building tooling that shortens time-to-market by multiples.
