Summary
Sanna Reponen is a Data & AI Engineer transitioning from a decade-long career in project management, e-learning, and product ownership, now applying hands-on data engineering skills to build pipelines, cloud data platforms, Spark jobs, and analytics workflows. Based in Helsinki, she combines technical practice—ingesting and modeling data for BI and AI use cases—with a strong user-centered design background from roles at university and edtech organisations. She helped scale global learning initiatives like Elements of AI (1.7M+ users) and created interactive game-maker tutorials completed over 1.6M times, showing rare fluency in both learner-facing product design and backend data work. Trained at Aalto University (MA New Media Design) and in an intensive data engineering program, she blends research-driven UX, curriculum development, and pragmatic data tooling to turn complex datasets into usable insights. Her cross-disciplinary experience makes her especially effective at aligning data infrastructure with educational and product outcomes.
