Summary
Sofia Kypraiou is a data scientist based in Lausanne with a decade of experience building practical, equity-focused data tools across academia, non-profits, and industry. She leads technical development and research at PersonalData.IO while designing workshops, courses, and toolkits—most notably the AI & Equality Human Rights Toolbox—used in universities and UN collaborations. Her work blends hands-on data engineering, visualization (with a strong eye for color and usability), and community-centered data governance that supports workers’ rights and legal claims. Sofia has shipped interactive web tools for neuroscience and gig-economy research and previously built full-stack banking platforms at Accenture, reflecting a rare mix of production engineering and research rigor. She mentors students regularly and embeds participatory methods into technical projects, ensuring solutions serve diverse stakeholders. Quietly prolific, she combines creative visualization with privacy-forward data practices to make technical work accessible and actionable.
