Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosé Devezas is a Senior Data Scientist and information retrieval researcher with 13 years of experience and nearly 12 years focused on graph-based, entity-oriented search and solving complex information needs. Holding a PhD in Computer Science, he blends academic rigor with product-minded engineering as founder of Hex Datum OÜ and senior roles at Pasabi and Glazed, delivering full-stack SaaS, crypto analytics, and entity search systems. His strengths span information retrieval, network science, data engineering (Postgres, JanusGraph, Redis), ML prototyping for time series, and rich data visualizations and knowledge-graph UIs. He has a long track record of research-to-production work—publishing on blog authority and leading social media and news collection infrastructures—so he often bridges deep algorithmic research and pragmatic, scalable pipelines. An understated but recurring theme in his career is turning graph insights into actionable search and recommendation features that power real-world analytics.
