Summary
Tommi Pajala is an AI Principal at Siili Solutions with nine years of experience turning business problems into statistical and machine learning solutions across consumer, healthcare, and public sector clients. He splits his time equally between hands-on technical delivery—covering the full modeling pipeline from data ingestion to production—and pre-sales, shaping how teams and customers capture AI value. With a PhD background in behavioral decision making and degrees in industrial and organizational psychology, he combines rigorous research instincts with practical product-minded ML engineering. Lately he has been deepening his focus on MLOps and team processes to improve repeatable delivery rather than just models, reflecting a bias toward sustainable impact. Based in Helsinki, he’s as comfortable designing Bayesian and time-series models as he is coaching teams to work more effectively together.
