Michał Bukowski is a Lead Data Scientist based in Warsaw with 11 years of experience building production ML systems and leading cross-functional teams across finance, insurance, and media. He combines hands-on engineering (Python, backend systems) with research credentials—pursuing a PhD in Computer Science while holding senior roles at Kontomatik, intive, Lloyd’s Register and now Samba TV. At Kontomatik he led data enrichment and financial health initiatives whose labeling and scoring pipelines are used by major Polish banks and lenders, reflecting his ability to turn messy transaction data into operational ML products. He also contributes to open-source tooling (notably steampy, a Python Steam trading library), showing an appetite for practical integrations and robust API work. Colleagues describe him as a delivery-oriented manager who bridges research and engineering, improving model lifecycle reliability and deployment practices. Michał’s background in scraper development and low-level integrations gives him uncommon expertise in reverse engineering brittle data sources into dependable inputs for advanced models.
