Pietro Mascolo is a Data Science Lead based in Dublin with over a decade of experience applying machine learning and statistical analysis across healthcare, e-commerce, IoT, and research projects. Trained as an experimental physicist, he blends rigorous research methodology with hands-on engineering in Python and Go, and has driven measurable model improvements—up to 90% gains in classification performance—while building robust data pipelines and production deployments. He has led and mentored cross-functional teams at Optum, Flow, and AIB, and brings practical expertise in model fairness, monitoring, and end-to-end ML delivery. Experienced in EU research program management (FP7/H2020) and project proposal work, he is comfortable navigating both academic and product-driven environments. Off the clock he’s a ham radio operator, mountain enthusiast and amateur photographer, reflecting a practical curiosity that often surfaces in pragmatic, creative problem solving.
