Summary
Sancho Luijten is a data scientist with four years of experience bridging research-grade statistical methods and production analytics, currently applying his skills at Revolut. He moved from graduate research in signal processing for gravitational wave astronomy at the Weizmann Institute into industry roles, bringing strong probabilistic modelling and algorithmic thinking to fintech and consulting problems. Prior internships at Amazon show he can design cost-efficient, cloud-native data infrastructure using AWS services and CDK to support ML workflows. Educated in astrophysics (BSc/MSc) across Amsterdam and Weizmann, he combines deep quantitative training with hands-on software engineering. Notably, his background means he’s comfortable translating complex, noisy scientific signals into robust production features and scalable analytics.
