Senior🎓
Top SchoolIsac Arnekvist is a Lead Data Scientist based in Greater Stockholm with 12 years of experience blending academic research and product-focused machine learning to drive measurable financial impact. Trained as a PhD student in robotics, perception and learning at KTH, he pairs deep expertise in neural methods with practical ML engineering—evidenced by contributions to the Theano-based blocks library (adding a LeakyRectifier and tests). He has progressed through data science roles at Klarna and a senior stint at Violet AI, moving models from experimentation into production across fraud, risk and personalization domains. Unusually for a senior data scientist, he began his career as a registered nurse, giving him a grounded, user-centric perspective on building reliable systems.
