Transforming Data into Insights

I'm a senior Data Analytics & Engineering professional at Klarna, where I turn complex business challenges into production-ready solutions. I build scalable pipelines, automate reporting, and ship AI-powered agents that support analysts across the company.

Off the clock I dive deep into AI safety and fine-tuning research: designing open-weight experiments, benchmarking JSON-constrained agents, and sharing the findings in my publications. That blend of enterprise experience and independent research keeps my toolkit sharp, from Python and SQL to custom eval harnesses for generative models.
