Luis Da Costa is a Senior Data Scientist in Montreal with 12 years of experience blending mathematical optimization, machine learning and complex systems into production-ready AI solutions across healthcare, industrial maintenance, social networks and neuroscience. He has led cross-functional teams and product-facing ML programs, translating research-grade methods—agent-based modeling, evolutionary computation and deep learning—into prioritized roadmaps and reliable systems. Comfortable toggling between hands-on engineering, data infrastructure and academic research, he has held roles from postdoc at INRIA to VP Research and is driven by a belief that creativity, freedom and open communication underpin high-performance teams. Notably, his approach marries rigorous optimization thinking with a product orientation to reduce waste and deliver measurable organizational value.
