Summary
Eirik Stavelin is a data science and AI leader with a PhD in Information Science and 14 years in tech, currently leading an AI & MLOps squad at Gjensidige after heading data engineering at NoA Ignite. He blends academic rigor—several publications and computational social science research—with hands-on delivery of production systems involving chatbots, voice interfaces, Elasticsearch, React and Python-based analytics. Comfortable switching between code, product design and organizational "shoe leather," he routinely contributes to sales, hiring and cross-functional delivery to keep complex projects moving. A curious social-science coder who values good design across physical, digital and organizational systems, he brings both research-driven thinking and pragmatic execution to bridge academia and industry.
