Senior🎓
Top SchoolRainer Kujala is a Lead Data Scientist based in the Helsinki area with 11 years of experience building data-driven products that deliver measurable business value, particularly in supply chain and mobility. He blends hands-on modeling and engineering with people leadership, having progressed from researcher and founder to team lead and senior manager roles at RELEX and other data-focused organisations. His work spans the full lifecycle from concept and simulation to production deployments, with a strong background in Python, SQL, cloud tooling and algorithmic solutions for routing, pooling and replenishment. He retains a researcher's rigor from a doctoral background at Aalto University and has contributed open-source tooling for transport network analysis, reflecting a long-standing interest in human mobility and public transit. Known for moving back to hands-on roles to "be closer to where the magic happens," he pairs strategic product thinking with the practical skills to ship robust ML systems.
