Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Kruitwagen is an ML lead and consultant with nine years of experience building data-driven products at the intersection of energy, environment, and finance. He has repeatedly taken research-grade models and datasets into production — from continental-scale satellite-driven crop mapping and field-boundary detection to a no-code energy-systems SaaS used for long-term scenario analysis. As a founder and former CTO he has led teams of 20+ engineers, raised early funding, and designed end-to-end platforms including data warehouses ingesting hundreds of billions of trade records. His work blends hands-on ML finetuning and MLOps with product-facing engineering and technical leadership across startups, NGOs, and academia. Based in London with a DPhil from Oxford, he brings both deep domain expertise in Earth observation and practical experience translating complex climate and supply-chain risks into operational decision tools. Colleagues describe him as someone who pairs rigorous modelling with a talent for building the infrastructure and teams that make predictive insights actionable.
