Hi! I’m Edgar Bahilo

I design, architect and prototype machine learning systems at scale with focus on time series data. I have previously worked as data scientist at Siemens AG, lead data scientist at Siemens Energy AG and now I work as a Lead AI Engineer at B2Holding ASA. Despite working as a data scientist with strong MLOps mindset, I wear the hat of a solutions architect time to time. However my heart is still in pure hardcore data science, and when time allows, I try to contribute to the scientific community in formal ways. Outside of work I also:

  • Write & speak about scaling data science and machine learning in the cloud.
  • Write about the importance of seeing data science and machine learning engineering as a team sport.
  • Compile and curate and awesome list of papers implementing SOTA techniques for time series forecasting. PRs are welcome!
  • Train powerlifting in an amazing Swedish NPO gym chain.
  • Learn about NLP and Multi-Task classification.
  • Enjoy the coolest city in Sweden (trust me, is better than the capital).
  • Live with my girlfriend and 2 guinea pigs which make our life a bit fun.
  • Bake awesome bread.
