Summary
Juan Company is a Senior Data Scientist and Gen AI leader based in Barcelona with a PhD in Natural Language Processing and nine years of experience bridging academic research and production ML systems. He leads AI/NLP/ML initiatives, having built LLM-monitoring platforms, jailbreak and prompt-injection detectors, and supply-chain forecasting tools that moved from prototype to client integration. His background spans industry roles at NeuralTrust, PepsiCo, and Allianz, plus postdoctoral research and teaching at Pompeu Fabra, with 20+ publications and reviewer duties for top NLP venues. Technically fluent across Python, PyTorch, Spark, cloud (GCP/Azure/AWS), Kafka and SQL/NoSQL, he combines hands-on model training (BERT/RoBERTa/XLM), dataset creation with LLMs, and lightweight model fine-tuning/SetFit approaches. He is equally comfortable optimizing production pipelines and mentoring teams or students, reflecting a strong taste for teaching and dissemination. A less obvious strength is his track record in turning academic author-profiling expertise into practical, privacy-aware NLP products and monitoring KPIs for LLM safety.
