About

Hi, I’m Steven Shack, a product- and problem-oriented data scientist with a strong track record in client service and problem discovery. I build end-to-end data science solutions—from data engineering and algorithm design to deployment and team leadership—driving value in energy, logistics, and industrial sectors. I apply Deep Learning, large language models, and operations research to solve complex problems, lead cross-functional teams, and translate business needs into scalable AI-enabled products.

I’ve delivered data-centric solutions across multiple industries, led data science strategy for initiatives, and built AI-enabled products in fast-paced environments. I thrive on problem discovery, effective communication with stakeholders, and turning ambiguous requirements into measurable outcomes through robust analytics and engineering.
