Summary
Nima Darabi is a senior data scientist and entrepreneur based in Oslo with nine years of experience applying machine learning, remote sensing and data engineering across startups, public sector and consulting. He co-founded Skoog, building computer-vision products to value standing forests, and now balances an executive role there with a senior data scientist position at Sunstone Institute, demonstrating both technical depth and operator-level leadership. His background spans production ML engineering, cloud integrations (Azure/GCP), and domain-focused modelling—from energy labeling for buildings to marine biomass monitoring under Microsoft AI for Earth. A PhD-trained researcher who has held visiting research roles at Stanford and Kavli, he combines rigorous academic methods with hands-on product delivery and a history of founding and scaling teams. Less obvious: he also built and ran a cultural co-working café, showing a knack for turning constrained, real-world problems into community-driven ventures.
