Summary
Jan Pipek is a versatile data scientist and physicist with 14 years of experience building production ML and time-series forecasting systems, now a Member of Technical Staff in Prague. He combines a Ph.D. in medical physics and a masters in particle physics with hands-on software engineering—Python, C++, Pandas/Polars, Dask and workflow orchestration—to ship demand and revenue forecasting, recommendation, and simulation projects across hospitality, media, and research domains. An active open-source author (physt) and frequent PyData Prague organizer and speaker, he bridges research-grade Monte Carlo simulation work (Geant4) and pragmatic ML in production. He also mentors PyLadies, creates teaching materials, and has translated popular science books into Czech, reflecting a rare mix of deep technical rigor, community leadership, and communication skills.
