Frederick Ayala is a Marketing Data Scientist with 11 years of experience using advanced analytics to grow free-to-play mobile games, currently based in Barcelona and working at Bandai Namco Mobile. He designs ROAS targets, constrained budget optimizations, iOS14.5+ conversion value pipelines, and revenue attribution models, partnering closely with user acquisition and media buying teams to turn experiments into production-ready solutions. His background spans leadership and hands-on roles at Rovio, where he managed data science teams and migrated analytics platforms to cloud-native Spark/EMR architectures. Trained academically to PhD level in information science and with early experience in large-scale Spark ETL and geospatial analytics, he combines rigorous research instincts with pragmatic engineering—often bridging analytics engineering (dbt, Athena) and ML deployment (SageMaker). Notably, he brings cross-domain experience from retail media-mix modeling to concrete quality ML systems, giving him an uncommon ability to translate diverse business problems into measurable, data-driven growth.
