Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIlias Koutsakis is a Data Specialist and Senior Data & AI Engineer with 11 years of experience translating research-grade ML/NLP into production-ready systems across academia and industry. He has built and maintained FAIR data platforms and machine learning pipelines at CERN, Elsevier, and the University of Amsterdam, combining hands-on model work (PyTorch, Transformers) with robust engineering practices like Docker, Kubernetes and microservices. At Nestlé he now applies this blend of research sensitivity and production rigor to enterprise data challenges, having previously led integrations with GitHub/Zenodo and single-handedly owned SCOAP3’s technical stack. He’s equally comfortable mentoring researchers and shipping developer-facing tools — notable for turning curation and preservation problems into scalable, user-centered services. A background spanning high-energy physics, publishing, and space-data experiments gives him an uncommon ability to structure messy scientific data into reusable, auditable assets.
