ABOUT RAUL LANDA
My specialty is the application of optimisation to the solution of applied problems. In the past I have done so in the context of network capacity planning and video quality of experience; more recently, in the context of statistical estimation and network traffic engineering. Depending on the problem I sometimes approach data science by formulating an optimisation algorithm in terms of the data and solving it, on other occasions, by simply using libraries as black boxes. I have always practised data science while embedded in software development teams, sharing their methodology and pushing code into production systems. In that sense, it could be equally argued that I am a software engineer with ample specialisms in optimisation and data analysis, or that I am a data scientist with ample experience with designing, building and deploying software into cloud-based production systems. Finally, my experience in academia has helped me to explain complex concepts clearly and succinctly, and to manage long-term projects with uncertain outcomes.
